“I’m 13-years-old.”
“Oh and who isn’t? You think that there isn’t a frighten kid inside of me too?”
Thats a line that hits harder when you’re older.

Josh may be a kid, but he's more of an adult for being honest with Susan

I LOVE the way Elizabeth Perkins says What!?!?! at 0:48 It is so perfect. Makes me laugh every time!

[rossdiamondthief]

0:29 that part breaks me every time cause that’s how I felt my freshman year of college leaving my family and being extremely home sick.

[EagleEye]

0:44 Try using that line during a breakup lol

It’s amazing how time flies. Elizabeth Perkins is now Rebecca’s mom on This is Us.

Josh was 5years older than me in 1988.

And just yesterday I was a bad deed doing high school student causing chaos and destruction while laughing like the Green Goblin. LOL!

My theory: Susan once made the same wish to be big like Josh did. When Josh invited Susan to come with him, she says, “I’ve been there before”. In an early scene when Josh reveals the truth to Susan about him being a kid, Susan says “And just yesterday I was a schoolgirl with pigtails!” (I’m pretty sure her remark was sarcastic but still…), the scene where Josh and Susan are dancing to Moonlight Serenade, Susan mentions she hasn’t danced in a long time.

I wonder if this will work today. Tell a woman you are just really a kid. I made a wish at the carnival at a zoltar machine game. 😅

“Big” is really about enjoying your youth and that children and adults are a bit different.

[lanabyk]

So brutal! All those adults out there, who really are just kids!

[singaporeancrab]

This scene feels like me talking to my mom. She never believes anything I say.

[RichieDb]

She was a child also... she was Millie Bobby Brown.

[SpielSatzFail]

It's hard enough to argue with a woman as an adult, but poor 13 year old Josh had to learn his lesson too early 😅
Be honest and you're dead. Lie to her and you might have a chance.

She all mad cause she dumped Kevin's dad, for Jenny's leftovers...
