We meet four-year-old Emma in a charming suburban neighborhood. Emma is a lively and intelligent youngster who loves her father, David. Emma, on the other hand, has a strong sense of self and enjoys speaking her mind, particularly when things don’t go her way.
In a lighthearted game of hide-and-seek one bright afternoon, Emma is being teased by David. Emma takes offense at his jest about her hiding place and resolves to flip the joke back on him. She gives her dad a playful smile and invites him to play a new game called “talking back.”
Every time David makes fun of her or answers in a humorous way in this new game, Emma swiftly responds with her own take on “talking back.” David finds it cutesy and funny at first, but when Emma starts to respond with more sass and intelligence, he starts to think he might have found his match.
Emma’s “talking back” intensifies over the day into a string of surprising and humorous comebacks that make David fight to keep his cool. Emma enjoys outwitting her father, whether it be by making up her own hilarious sentences or by mimicking his tone.
David develops a greater appreciation for Emma’s fierce personality as the game progresses, as well as a better knowledge of her developing independence and inventiveness. David welcomes the happiness of this special bonding experience even though it can be difficult to keep up with his quick-witted kid.
Emma’s boisterous activities have reinforced the bond between father and daughter, who are both weary from laughing by the end of the day. Knowing that there’s never a dull moment when Emma is around, David is amazed by his feisty toddler’s amazing personality as they get ready for bed.
In 1983, a 16-pound baby caught everyone’s attention: You won’t believe what he looks like now!
In 1983, Patricia Clarke, then 24, had a strong feeling that her baby was about to get bigger. There were many big babies in her family, but the size of her newborn still surprised her.
Patricia gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, who weighed an astonishing 16 pounds, making him possibly the largest baby born at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly in New Jersey at the time. Despite his size, Kevin was perfectly healthy, although he did not fit into a standard crib and his baby clothes were too small.
Kevin’s extraordinary height quickly made him famous, with appearances on popular shows such as Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America. As he grew up, his height continued to make headlines. By age 12, he was already 5’7″ and continued to grow. By the time he reached middle school, he was 6’5″ and he didn’t stop there.
Kevin humorously tells the New York Post: “Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am. I like to joke that I’m 5’9″. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play mini golf.”
Now 40, Kevin is a former soldier who lives with his 6’1″ wife and their Great Dane. He has grown to an impressive height of 6’9″, which he easily manages.
Check out the video below to learn more about Kevin’s incredible journey. Despite the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, it seems that Kevin has adapted well. We wish him all the best as he continues his journey! Please SHARE this amazing story with your family and friends!
