“I’m baby” yup I feel that.
I mean… That was exactly the right thing to do.
Respond as fast as possible as clearly as possible.But looking back on it, it is pretty fucking funny to read.
Mom…get the Taken guy

Tekken!?
Eddy Gordo’s got this!
I didn’t know this was the origin of the “I’m baby” meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-baby
“Here me”
Everything in that text conversation says none of them understand basic grammar and spelling.
? Home invasion, better check my spelling before sending.
I’ll admit I would be the kind of person who wastes critical seconds during a home invasion backspacing over typos and reviewing/editing my grammar/punctuation before hitting send because my brain demands perfection under any circumstance. But I think in those situations anybody should get a pass so long as they can communicate quickly and comprehensively.
Grammar might not be on their mind while someone is hunting for them in their home
But clear communication should be. Here is fine tho
“Tho”
And did you have an issue understanding my meaning?
And you had issues understanding the text?
No, I didn’t. This is what I wrote:
But clear communication should be. Here is fine tho
Note the part where I said, very explicitly, that I did not have issues reading what they wrote.
Learn to forgive, it will help you grow as a person
I’m baby
Don’t be weird
I forgive you
I don’t need your forgiveness you patronizing troll, get the fuck away from me
you should be more weird
Different kind of weird. In this case the weird was being super patronizing. I don’t want to be that kind of weird very often.
“I’m baby”
Is she trying to say “I am, baby”? Do people abbreviate like that?
I think the “I’m baby” is the result of using voice to text while she’s in the car on the way home. I don’t think she’s crafting messages in a way usual of anyone. She is spending the minimum amount of time on the phone to let her daughter know she has been heard, then focusing the rest of her energy on getting back there asap.
She used apple intelligence
Yeah I know. She’s probably freaking out if her mind and just trying to focus on getting home to her daughter.
I’ve
I’ve2
I was thinking “I’m busy”?
Autocorrect does.
When there’s an intruder in their home with their child, yeah
Why should not I?
K
She’s certainly no parent.
Mom too busy edging to reply properly
To the top with this one
K
I’m baby
Gooning takes priority, no matter what
I’m baby
Probably meant “I am, baby” as in on her way home.
This is the generous interpretation and the one I’m picking. Seems like a stressful situation for all, so a lot can be forgiven.
I can even understand “k” as response. What can mum do except give the kid, and mum, space to solve the problem? “I understand, I’m calling the police now” or just call the police. One saves time, one wastes it.
I could even understand it being a “oh shit, oh shit, oh shit” response. Executive function is gone, here’s a “k” while I melt.
Lots of room here before jumping to mum being the worst person in the world.
Ain’t never seen someone from @lemmynsfw.com in the wild lol but u r beautiful
My main was on fmhy. That got nuked so I browsed using this acct. Then made another alt. The mods here are in a constant state of clarity, it’s pretty good.
I just thought it was an autocorrect from “I’m busy” tbh. Hoping you’re right
K
I’m Baby K, an Italian singer.
He is inside mom
The burglar is a pedo
Is this one of those subs where pedo rape jokes are funny or one of the ones where pedo rape jokes are discouraged?
I feel like you’re asking that because you have an absolute zinger ready to go but you’re not sure how it’ll be received.
I think the kind of people into those kind of jokes don’t ask first
I feel like this one is going to fly over a lot of heads. Bravo.
Wasn’t actually intended as a joke at first, but I noticed it before I posted… Wasn’t sure whether to post. Anyway, feel free to treat it as one, but I was being serious too.
Dont know. But as jokes go it’s as tired and bad as blackface and “gay best friend” in RomComs
pedo rape jokes are funny or one of the ones where pedo rape jokes are discouraged
yes
deleted by creator
No, he’s inside mom. Sounds like the kids are safe from this milfhunter.
Yes, That was the joke
Because the mom said “I’m baby”
Mom cares about her kid’s safety but that K was just her taking a step back and wondering if it’s worth it when she still can’t get ‘hear’ right
they both have terrible spelling though
The girl is probably absolutetly shitting herself and is full of adrenaline, I think we can forgive that typo lol.
So is the mom. She is obviously rushing home texting while driving
I mean yeah fair enough
“K”
“I’m baby”?
Did she mean “I’m busy”?
If so this is messed up.
I’m guessing it’s supposed to be “I am, baby” (in response to ‘are you coming home’) but written in a panicked haste.
Anyone thinking she’d have the time or calm to properly spell check before sending when her kid’s in danger is delusional.
Hopefully she was rushing home - maybe driving? - and couldn’t text well?
“K”, and “I am baby”?
I thought maybe it’s “I am, baby”
Me too, I hope
yeah, auto correct too “i m baby” and made it I’m baby
Ahh… That clears it up.
Isn’t I’m literally “I am”?
The missing comma is what makes it mistakable
I’m, baby. Still doesn’t seem right even if it technically is.
I would say it’s technically wrong, because the am is where the emphasis sits, and you wouldn’t contract an emphasised word.
But yeah, that still seems like the best interpretation of intention in this case.
Hope so. That would be far better.
She is a baby. I guess she was on some good stuff.
K
I’m baby
Imagine responding like that to any Lemmy post:
*Proton endorses Trump
*K
*Gaza ceasefire
*I’m baby
Mom is texting while driving and freaking out, that’s why her texts are like that
“He’s gonna here me” omg not even time for basic grammar anymore? -s
Lol could you imagine if the mom hit her back with “Hear*”
I underappreciated my parents not being that retarded
This seems to be the actual reporting: https://abc7.com/montclair-teen-saves-niece-home-invasion-quick-thinking-home-invasion/1781013/
Comments are funny and this girl was so smart and fast it’s incredible. But I have a question because I’m not American and I see this all the time: why do they make/let 14year olds babysit toddlers and babies. I understand that it’s cheaper or free if it’s a family member. But there are many emergencies (more common than this one) that I don’t think a teen is matured or prepared for, seems crazy to me to leave a child in the care of another child
I suspect it’s legal because it was a prevalent practice before laws were made, and nobody wanted to change that so they just made sure the law allowed for what they were already doing. For example, Kansas was part of a “territory” before it was a state, so only the USA as a whole had authority, and I doubt there were many laws about the subject we’re discussing, so there was probably literally no local law enforcement in most of Kansas at some point. Additionally, in the USA people settled / farm(ed) by having one family live far away from everyone else (as opposed to in Europe where it was supposedly more common to have a central place where a lot of people lived and then they would walk to their sector of farmland that surrounds the town). This means that people with 8 kids probably assigned any 14 or 16 or 12 year olds to watch the younger kids, while the adults and older children were out farming or preparing food (which took a lot more time in the past), since there was no other adult that was physically close by (and any that were would probably have to attend to their own farm/business rather than help with raising someone else’s kids).
Because emergencies are so rare. Many adults are quite unprepared for a lot of them as well.
It’s different if you were to leave like a 1-2 year old in the care of someone but it’s generally okay to leave a 5-10 year old in the care of a 14-15 year old. They mostly just need to feed them and make sure they go to bed.
Plus it gives the teens responsibility and some extra money to spend and it helps them get prepared for the future. Usually if it’s a super young one the teens tend to have first and courses suitable for young children as well or actual baby sitting certifications from a course of some sort.
The intruder bolder, and moments later, police arrived.
What?
It’s a typo. The intruder was a *boulder.
I’m baby
Succulent meal
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PEBBLE!
This is democracy manifest!
Darmok and Jalad.
Go to whitecastle
Leeerroooyyyyyy Jenkins!
A boulder the size of a small boulder.
Bet her world was rocked.
Makes you realize how much we all take for granite.
Bouldy would NEVER, you take that back
Supposed to be “bolted”
Probably meant to say “bolted”
TL:DR her mom called the police and a neighbor and the neighbor loudly arrived spooking the intruder
Zoyee
Jfc
Sounds like when the guy knocked on the door she could’ve just shouted “we don’t want any” and he would’ve left
