    Those parents clearly never “bloomed” either. A baby shouldn’t have been able to destroy a table leg unless its was completely rotted out. The bike tire must have been already bent. Falling off of it in the middle a field doesn’t twist up the front wheel like that. It looks like the front wheel failed and the kid was ejected forward.

    That poor kid grew up in a dangerous household with neglectful parents.

    A “late bloomer” can live a perfectly happy and fulfilling life if you just support and believe in them the same as you would a bright kid.

    Plot Twist: The parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from the hospital with their new son. While he survived, miraculously uninjured, and was adopted out, the parents became ghosts, unseen, hovering over him for the rest of his life … to reunite only at the end.

    I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

      Actually the kid is clearly superhuman and the parents failed to recognize it. No way a human baby could break a solid table leg.

        That’s actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He’s practically a toddler now!

          Yeah, I mean, I couldn’t even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

    Evidence this man is a failure:

    Can break tables with his soft infantile head

    Cannot ride bike

    Can do weed

    Has a job

    Rip, bozo. What a fucking idiot
