Imagine being a meme your whole life. Like, this guy doesn’t even remember a time before he was a meme. He’s just grown up being a meme.

They should interview the guy turning around at the girl walking past him and his angry girlfriend.

The fact an 11 month old saved his dad by eating sand is crazy

“The internet had it”.

Possibly the scariest phrase that could be uttered

He's a humble teen, he'll go far.

Damnit this was too wholesome. Between the premature birth and the mom being sentimental about the positive meme taking off --- to the dad affording the meds thanks to the meme popularity.

Damn you. I wasn't scheduled to feel at this time today!

Can we all just appreciate that the parents were cool with it and didn’t try to sue anyone or something

Can we PLEASE take a moment to appreciate how the parents were glad to have the “official” meme being about “success” and “achieving against the odds” because he was a preemie baby and had brain surgery?! I was NOT expecting that and the damn onion ninjas GOT ME.

This actually brought a tear to my eye. Being famous accidentally saved his dad's life. What more can you ask for?

You can’t say this meme died now since he’s still alive.

Imagine if that sand didn't exist, the meme wouldn't exist, and his dad would pass away. Those grains of sand saved someone's life

He looks like he’s 18 and part of a band. Not 14 and still in school
