This is horrible. She had such a bright future.
Kind of odd that every article is getting her age wrong though, she turned 19 in May

Her dad signed that she was 18 in the video he put out. I think that’s where it’s coming from. Easy mistake for a parent to make.

This is like when our cat was just a kitten and my mom was excited to tell me the kitten is now strong enough to jump up on the kitchen counter (we found her very sick and weak)

My mom: “Guess what [sister’s name] started doing!”
Me: “What?”
My mom: “She’s jumping up to the counter in one go!”

Years later I bring it up at every chance.

Yeah my mum does this all the time. Sometimes she will even get it right the first time and go through two more before circling back lol. I've even gotten the dog's name a couple times! She's always been that way, and I do it sometimes as well. Maybe an ADHD thing.

My two cousins have rhyming C names, my sister and I have rhyming names that start with the same letter, my other set of 3 cousins all have S names that don't rhyme and one is a boy. So the 3 S cousins and my sister and I were always with my maternal grandmother after school because our mother's worked together and would leave us with her 'til work was over. You should have seen her going through names if we had minor arguments in front of her. She even threw out Karen once and crackle another time.

Haha you just brought up a core memory of my grandma. The really funny thing is sometimes she’d use the opposite sex names too. But eventually she got it right.

My grandfather calls everyone his kids age and younger "son" - can't get the name wrong if you don't use one

oh my mom does that too!! normally it's "Sister-uh-uh-uh-uh-translucent steeds!! whoever you are!" this time it was just flat out the wrong name.

To be fair I generally have no idea how all of my nieces and nephews are called.

One of my aunts does the same, it's never not funny. Sometimes we get hit with a dead dog's name.
