Those parents played the long social media con haha!
0:50 "I've rarely had a postal worker poop on my head" " *R A R E L Y* "
4:50 my brain:oh here comes sponsor time
But....brussel sprouts are delicious when covered in oil, seasoned, and subsequently roasted 👉👈
It seems citizen's chirps (in Cities: Skylines) regarding mail-order babies are not far-fetched after all.
Jokes on you, I don't have a sister.
Oh my god, im one of those people who stab mail boxes open so this wouldve been a complete disaster for me
As an Idahoan I am personally offended by you calling ID "Ohio" at 3:25.
brussel sprouts are delicious most parents just prepare them bitter
Yes
Bassically, legal human trafficking
Well, if I were born during that time, I can mail my enemy's first born child to Abu Dhabi, and the second to Greenland.
Seems legit
3:26 "Ohio"

How unhuman it was. What if baby get hurt ? Only a stupid can do something like this with his baby.
Storks? Bah, i got the full tale at the age of 2.
That's Idaho not ohio
If im being honest your segways to sponsors need a bit more effort
3:30 yah, thats Idaho, not ohio
“...which would obviously exclude babies” Parents in 1913: I’d like to open a case my claim is that children are insects
Hey Santa clause is real
3:39 sounds more like kidnapping :/
Package: fragile items Mailman whoes the dad: *ha ha ha ronaldinho soccer*
Make it legal again
Oh no, I lost the baby in the mail!
Such a quant old video. Way back seven months ago when the post master general was best known as an MIT grad.
Wow hai, what a way to shatter my childhood
That’s one way to deliver a baby
I feel bad for the postman
When some one sends you baby in box and you don't see a fragile and don't use knife to open stickers
BRUH
3:00 "responsible parents don't get talked about on ALthe 107 years later" lmao
"Used to be legal" *A N G E R*
storks: mailed babies humans: write that down WRITE THAT DOWN!
Make a video about how to be postmaster general
can we get an F for the USPS?
Video about the USPS? That's political now, for some reason.
What is wrong with you. Yes you, the video viewer, LIKE GOD Why on earth do ppl (including me) wanna see about being able to mail Babies. YES CURIOSITY LoL
Man I’m gonna miss the postal service
Brussels sprouts are good
Wait... its illegal now? Shit.
Hi
Kids get told babies are delivered by storks? Is that something people told kids? And kids believed it?
Oh, so this is where the getting mailed in a box challenge came from.
Funny you mentioned Sears, my house (1926) is a Sears kit home. I've actually found the exact blueprints to my house online, minus some additions in the 50s and 90s.
I watched this in front of my mom and I’m pretty young still told that Santa is real my moms face was priceless when she heard that Santa was not real

Nah she was probably surprised vice versa child
Just imagine being a underpaid postal worker being handed a child with a stamp on his forehead
Santa... isn't... real?
At least the law gave the storks a break while it lasted.
Well there goes my plans for this weekend
So that's what inspired GTA's Babies Overnight .com ad
I really hate that your videos never have an actual conclusion to the subject/story.
Wait, Santa isn’t real?????????????????
I think a stork might eat a baby if givin the chance.
Only one person knows what was here first
Bring this back
Lmao I got a commercial of a guy talking about his kids. 😂😂😂

Wait is illegal
“In a way, it was less like being mailed and more like getting carried somewhere by a babysitter whose other babies were envelopes.”
If it’s spelled glen este that’s where I live 🤣🤣🤣
HAI is a blessing, thank you ~
So if it used to be illegal than is it legal now?

Vice versa
I'm just picturing someone licking a stamp and sticking it onto a kid's forehead.
ohio or idaho?
somebody made a video from this era althe.info/number/npKyYYqGopJ-q64/video
There is no way that a kid did not get kidnapped
I read the title as "Why it used to be _illegal_ to mail babies"
You could say they delivered the mail
I really should be studying...
I am positive, that I am "cooler" than my sister. Fax! 😎
Thank god I did not have it on high volume my brother was in the room
USPS? More like USBS..
He said lewiston OHIO when it was lewiston IDAHO 3:25
799th
shit
3:27 its actually Idaho; not Ohio 😂 common mistake though
We all know that know kid who would definitely mail their sibling away
Its the mail yourself challenge except your parents sign you up.
Sorry I can just imagine a family moving across the states and relishing they ran out of space in the car so they just send the kids though the post because it would be quite in the car
No bricks?
"Your parents tell you lies, like how Santa clause is real" Rip kids watching

Yup, reading the comment section is gold
USED to be legal? I need to go retrieve a few packages from the Post Office then..
Video: Why it used to be legal to mail babies Me: Because there aren't enough storks?
3:25 Did he just say "Lewiston, Ohio"?
I mean, they couldn't walk yet.
Jokes on you, narrator dude, my parents love my brother more than me. (Not because he's a boy, but because they're homophobic and transphobic, but that's beside the point)
Weird
It’s still legal, you just can’t mail LIVE babies.

Hilariously coincidental the ad before this was for a pregnancy test. Also, how what used to be what?!
*Goes to amazon* Okay, I want a mixed 6lb baby with a pudgy nose and small feet.
:/ I wish I could mail myself why isn't it legal anymore
the bird at 0:49 took a shit
if you think about it postmen still eeliver babies, when husbands aren't home
I just realised the most trivial thing ever. I've never actually remember asking my parents about babies.
