Things that Happened While I Grew up 

Her mom writing Jaidens mom when someone asked her to sign a shirt is the most precious thing

Jaiden's Mom: “Pathta with no sauth” Jaiden: **”and I took that personally”**

"we have asian blood in us so we can't bring dishonner to our famery" - asian jaiden

I love to come back and look how Jaidens animation and art style have grown through the years, it really improved and looks so good

Tears began as soon as she talked about her mom signing the shirt. It's so wonderful that they not only support you but are also so happy for your success. Respect.

My speech therapist tried to explain the “SSS” and “TH” thing and I was like “nah that’s not how that works” as if she wasn’t a trained professional. She also suggested I read Warrior cats, and I told her that I will not because I thought it would be bad. I’m now a dedicated fan because I started reading it on my own, she never knew I love wc because I started reading after I stopped going. She now has twins. Good for her

it's so sweet that your mom wrote "jaiden's mom" as her autograph, like she's just so happy to be your mother that that's enough of an identity for her and she doesn't want to take the attention away from you

Jaiden : “That video is not worth 10 million views” People: “Ok the. we will give you 28 million views”

let’s just appreciate how much time jaiden puts in to her videos

"all right loser I've got a quiz to take" IM DECEASED 💀

The "Brown, Hazel..." was really hilarious 😂 And the way she says "I almost died" makes it look like she has been through smt WAYYY more difficult 😅

She always makes me laugh! Anyone reading this comment have a great day/night!!!!

Lets admit it, *we all almost have drowned when we were younger*

We have evidence of her mom’s hypocrisy in Ari’s first video. “Hey mom you’re gonna be a grandmother now” *“W h a t ! ?”*

That "almost drowned story" reminds me of my younger brother. They were playing in swim class and throw each other into the pool, my brother hit his head and didn't realised anymore he had to come up, instead he thought he will just "respawn".

I think it's a mark of a great artist to look at their past successes from a few years ago an say: "Wow! I can't believe how bad my artwork used to be!" PS: How many people started to meet Jaiden with their eyes closed or wearing sunglasses after this video was uploaded?

I know this video is a few years old, but can we appreciate how great Jaiden's interpretation of her mom's Italian friend is? I don't want to use the word "design" because it's a real person, but yes, top tier character art.

2:48 That little “Ya Hoo” gives me life. It’s honestly perfect.

My whole family : "babies are so adorable" Jaiden : " *pathetic* "

7:02 Of course we do, you work so hard!! You deserve this Jaiden :)

3:07 Jaiden’s Mom: (in whisper) “Pathta with no thauth.” Jaiden: *So you have chosen... death.*

I haven't almost drowned before, but I have a similar story, one time I was going through this race thing with all these thick foam walls that you could walk through, but you can't breathe unless you're tall enough to stick your head over it, so everyone was holding their kids over the bubbles, but my mom was over here just pushing me through the walls and telling me not to breathe, I ended up breathing and my nose really hurt and I cried

I’m Italian. So I can actually confirm “we talk like dis” (in English at least) and have our houses full of spaghetti. Well they are delicious cooked in an Italian way. Also if Jaiden ever reads this: I love your voice. I think it is pleasant and charming and very genuine . I know you don’t really like it so I thought it could be handy to know a perfect Italian stranger thinks your voice is among the most nices in BRvid.

Jaiden is the only person who can motivate me to draw.

I like how Jaiden colourizes her swimsuit as a kid but not her shirt in every other scene

Whenever im sad I like to think about how someone, somewhere, has a tshirt that says 'Jaidens mum'

I like that Jaiden's suggestion for a speech impediment is essentially a more wholesome version of 'git good'

when she said "fremery" instead of family it brought tears to my eyes. thank you Jaiden for such a inspiring word

When my mom was around 4, her aunt jumped in a pool fully clothed to save her from drowning. My grandma has jumped in fully clothed to save both me and my sister from drowning. I was 3 or 4 when I jumped in the deep end of my grandma’s pool and realized it was too deep. Grandma jumped in and saved me. Another time we were staying at a campground on Chincotegue island when my sister jumped in their community pool and grandma, once again, had to do a fully clothed jump in the pool to save her grandchild.

I had a similar near drowning experience when I was a kid, except I was the one on top of the floating thing rather than the bottom. Me and a few of my friends were at a water park and we’re playing this ‘game’ where one or two of us would lay on the float and the rest would pretend we were gonna push them into the water. It was fun for a bit until I was sitting there for a while and .... I don’t know if someone actually decided to follow through with it or they pushed the tube a little harder than intended but one minute I was chilling on top of the water then the next I was in it. Then I kinda panicked since I’m not a confident swimmer. Luckily a lifeguard pulled me out and I didn’t drown.

The fact that there’s a shirt out there with the words jaidens mom written on it makes me happy

Man, Jaiden scared the crap out of poor Maaz by staring 😂 She deserves her staring master degree, that's for sure.

I can’t still. I’ve watched this video so many times, and I still die laughing. My heart literally crumples as Jaiden says “passtha wif no sawss“

I was scared of the pool filters too, but it was because one time I had a nightmare that a crocodile swam out of one of them and circled me until I woke up.

Your videos have such an entertaining positivity that watching them often makes me feel better and calmer! Especially those about retro games or your childhood!

Once I got stuck underwater, and a long floaty was on top of me. It was drowning and strangling me at the same time. That was the worst life moment ever.

Mom: *whispers* “Pata with no swauce” Jaiden: *Hits table!* That got me so good!

I think one of the beautiful aspects of your story is learning what healthy families should be like. My childhood was abusive and toxic and I did not have such loving support. It reminds me of not only how to treat others, but to give myself the love and support I never got. Thank you Jaiden :)

2:41 the references in this scene are absolutely amazing

Awesome vid jaiden! As a teen myself, I really do appreciate my parents! (Even though they are somewhat of an annoyance sometimes XD) hoping to be an animator someday like you!

Im Italian and i comfirm that she did the accent EXTREMELY good.

I want jaiden's moms autograph!! She seems nice 🥺

Jaiden: “ I’m so happy they are so supportive!” Jaiden’s mom: *”HUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH!?!?!?”*

Jaiden's parents r so supportive and nice they r like the parents I wish to have :')

You did well with your life. Glad to see you aspirations have come to fruition. May your career last, I hope to be as talented as you.

OH MY GOD YOU MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!! So I want to be an animater and make videos like you. I’ve wanted to since I was 8 (it’s been 8 years since then) and you brought up the lisp. I only had a mild lisp when I first got braces but I mumbled and sometimes stuttered as a kid and when I talk too fast or if I get excited or anxious it pops back through. Id always get insecure because I’d have to repeat myself and I’m the only people I know that has an old speech impediment pop through at times so it makes me feel better to know someone I look up to can understand that pain. Thank you so much for one, showing me what I’m passionate about at an early age, and two, letting me and so many others know we aren’t alone :) it means a lot to so many of us.

I love your relationship with your parents. That's awesome they are so supportive! Reminds me alot of my parents ❤️

This is the first video I saw from you back in 2018 and I’ve loved your videos ever since, I can’t thank you enough for sending me down such a cool BRvid rabbit hole.

Getting stared at by Jaiden is probably the sweetest thing that'll ever happen to me. lol

oh the description is amazing ‘glad I didn’t drown!’ **all the links** ‘and this tells me you read the description, which means you respect what I say, thank you! hope you don’t drown anytime soon (or ever)’ thanks Jaiden

The same drowning in water thing happened to me when I was at summer camp in June. I was stuck under for like 1 minute. And when I tried to tell my sister, she just laughed. She’s younger than me, and I knew that she didn’t care so I told my friends. And they didn’t say anything and just started talking about other stuff. Now when I tell the story, everyone thinks I’m overreacting. But seriously, I felt like I was going to die since it was a floaty at least 7 feet long.

The fact that it took me 3 year's to figure out what jaidens mom said at the pasta scene is very funny to me.

About the drowning section i except for her to describe a moment of pure calm. Because near death, you body has so little oxygen you lose all feeling and are just there slowly sinking to your death. Due to not being able to do anything you accept death and enjoy your last moment. In fact most people that survived drowning say they long for that feeling. If you want a taste of this calm a deprivation tank is the closest you can get safely

4:35 something very similar happened to me at a water park. I was in the lazy river and fell out of my tube (like an idiot) but when I tried to come back up, my head hit the tube. Fortunately, my sister is a former lifeguard.

Jaiden: "I did not deserve 10 million views" Everyone: ok here's 28 million

i love that when there's a whole dump truck full of Spaghetti, and if you look closely you can literally see Papyrus in the background

"Thanks Mum/Mom and Dad" *points at their eyes whilst saying:* "Brown. Hazel." this made me laugh

A similar thing happened to me with the pool mat, I was underwater and I couldn't use my 3 braincells and swim to the side, so I used my 8 year old arms and lifted the mat with a kid on it up enough to breathe lol :D

Ha ha! We in England have these problems too. We have a strict code of manners if you have any hope of being treated well by others. Sometimes though you don't even get that. I laughed really hard at the "not what, pardon" bit because it's exactly what my mum would say to me and my sister if we said "what?". The other really annoying thing (in England at least) is when someone asks if you like something. It's hard sometimes to know if they are asking because they intend to offer you it or whether they are just asking your opinion about it. Like being round a friend's house and their mum asking, "Do you like cheesecake?". Really, they should ask "would you like cheesecake" but a lot of times they don't. This situation used to piss me off because it was really then a coin toss whether you embarrassed yourself or not without it really being your fault. So, if you said just "yes, I like cheesecake" it would be mega rude not to have said please if they intended to offer it to you. But I've been in equally mortifying situations where I relied "yes please" because the context suggested they were offering it to me. They would reply "no, I wasn't offering you it. I was just asking what you thought". NO WIN! We also say sorry a lot even when we have nothing to feel sorry for. There's a great monologue in a British film called 'A Fish Called Wanda' (highly recommended, something tells me I'd think you'd love it) where an upper class Brit tells his American lover "do you have any idea what it's like being English? Being so correct all the time, being so stifled by this dread of, of doing the wrong thing, of saying to someone "Are you married?" and hearing "My wife left me this morning," or saying, uh, "Do you have children?" and being told they all burned to death on Wednesday. You see, Wanda, we'll all terrified of embarrassment. That's why we're so... dead. Most of my friends are dead, you know, we have these piles of corpses to dinner. Love your videos btw.

OMG I'm a huge fan *and my parents as well*. I just got to say my mom felt the same way when she first became an adult honestly. She loves how your mom bothered you about saying pardon but when you asked her a question she goes, HUHHHHHHHHHH!? 😂 Ive been watching you and James for a few years and love your guy's content.

Its truly a miracle Jaiden is still alive to tell all of these stories

Her videos always make me happy😊

I love how supportive your parents are and the shirt with jaidens mom iT makes me happy

Looking intently into people's eyes and not breaking eye contact with people as a form of social overcompensation is literally something I can see myself doing. XD

The same pool thing happened to me when I was 12. Here's my rant: I was goofing around on one of those mats, but like the really bug ones. Me and my friends were trying to flip the thing over (while sitting on it) and see who would climb back up the fastest. So we did it a couple of times but I got stuck dead in the middle, underneath it. I was actually a decent swimmer, though I sucked underwater. And the panic that got hold of me still returns in my nightmares. I swam best I could, and I was just running out of air, giving up, when I burst to the surface. I've never told anyone

I also had a bit of a lisp as a kid, and I would get pulled out of class for speech therapy - but I didn't even know it was speech therapy. I thought I was the luckiest kid in the world because I got to miss class to play games with a nice lady who happened to be correcting my lisp. It got fixed :) Still sometimes lisp a tiny bit if I'm lazy with pronunciation as well but it hardly happens anymore.

I almost drowned in the exact same way when I was a kid, I just accepted my fate and prepared for death though.

I love your voice! ^^ I have misophonia (or sth), and it basiclly means that I don't have a sound filter or sth, I can not ignore sounds and it really SUCKS. I've searched a looooong time finding something that helped and danmmmmmmmmmm, your videos and your voice are AMAZING. the background music and animation and your voice make such a good combination for me and it really helps. Thank you for that ^^

It's said that, even these days, if you go to that pool and dive, you can still see little Jaiden starring at you to memorize the color of your eyes.

so fricken wholesome. appreciate you, Jaiden.

Today my grandpa passed away... But your videos make me so happy thanks for the videos keep on making amazing mood-changing videos❤️

This video is the reason I fixed my lisp with that behind the teeth tip. Thanks Jaiden!

Things that happened to me when I grew up. -I got taller -My voice got deeper -My hair got darker Things that happened to Jaiden when she grew up. -Had an heelies accident -Almost drowned -Felt bad about eating chips

Oh god, when I was young, I was so hella scared of those filter-things! You're not alone, Jaiden, you're not alone.

Most speech impediments can be solved by knowing which parts of your mouth make noises, but I find most of them endearing and don't bother trying to change them unless they inhibit understanding.

I also have intense eye contact. I have pretty big eyes, especially after getting lasik, people just open up to me for some reason. I sometimes wear sunglasses to hide my eyes and it somehow makes me feel like I'm staring at anyone. It also helps prevent you from zoning out. Great video cool cat ✌🏽

I am literally drinking milk and the “HUHHHHHH” made me literally laugh so hard milk came out of my nose

I almost drowned as a kid because i literally *tripped on the water* and got my sense of direction scrambled when i fell down so I had no idea which way was up how to stand. I had already started to gasp for breath underwater by the time I managed to finally find my footing and stand up. The hilarious part? Neither the teacher nor the lifeguard gave a damn that I just had a near death experience.

I could imagine Jaiden focusing so much on people’s eye color that she forgets their name and refers to them by eye color. “Hey, Green, how are you! Hows your wife Hazel? And the twins, Blue and Brown, are they doing alright?”

It keeps surprising me how may people have nearly drowned from a pool mat either accidentally or deliberately floating over them in their childhood...in my case someone tried to purposely drown me

Can we all does appreciate how smooth this is like mamma Mia, that is smooth 2:38 I’m Australian by the way not Italian edit: whoever like my comment, thank you so much

I think in one of your older videos you said you were introvert; I think through this video and all of your other videos I've seen you tell stories like an extrovert. Thank you for all of them ; they're great.

the one thing i got from this entire video is i want to see adult jaiden interact with baby/young jaiden just to see how fun it would be actually i can say the same for myself

My brother almost drowned once. We were at a pool party while visiting my dads friend in Utah, and there were a bunch of people in the pool. So my brother falls off a floaty and tries to grab the wall. Luckily, my friend jumps into action and saves him. She was twelve at the time and my brother was five.

makes me think of that danny gonzales video. "stop that!"

Jaiden and the Odd1sOut are perfect to watch while crocheting/sewing

I remember a time I also almost drowned .So my family went to Cancun and I was like 5 years old playing in the wave pool with a floaty tube,and I don’t know what happened,but some how I let go of the tube and went at the far back of the pool,I wasn’t able to swim back then so I wasn’t able to hold my breath.Then my mom noticed,so she went into to the pool and saved me,and the literal life guard didn’t notice me about to drown.

Can't believe I only just discovered Jaiden. This is brilliant.

A similar incident to the floating mat happened to me. I drifted under a giant inflatable unicorn which was drifting forward. I couldn't get up for air, so I tried out-pacing it forward to come up in front of it, instead of...swimming backward. It took like a good 15 seconds for my brain to be like...yeah this aint working

The only Asian thing my Dad was strict about was no shoes on in the house but yeah growing up in a Military Family meant I was very Independent and didn’t have Mom and Dad in my life much. Except morning and dinner time because Mom and Dad had different shifts my Mom being active duty while my Dad was Reserves meant Mom left the house before Dad. Dad’s way of teaching us to Swim is to throw us in the Pool.

Omg this is #1 on trending!!!! Good job Jadien, love your videos!!!

About the drowning story, I also nearly drowned as a kid because another who couldn’t swim was holding onto me and pulling me down. Before it was too late another supervising parent in the water took the child off of me

the whole pool mat thing happened to me, too! (for me it was an inner tube and I ended up just swimming out from below it. I ended up capsizing it by jumping up out of the water and using some karate tricks. It was fun.)

I’m absolutely terrified of pool filters because when I was younger I stuck my hand in one to save a small toy whale being sucked up. Instead of being rescued it got sucked in and my hand nearly went along with it.

Jaiden: we have some Asian blood in us so we can’t bring dishonor to our famiry “the family shows up” it made me laugh so hard

XD The same almost drowning pool thing happened to me as well- We were at this 4th of July party thing, and my little brother was on one of those mats. I had gone underwater, and as I was coming up for air, the mat had gone above me. I did the same thing and tried to shove him off ( my puny child arms couldnt even lift a 4 year old ) but it was pretty useless. Eventually, I realized if I swim AROUND the mat, then I could save myself. So I started swimming a little ahead of the mat and as I come up for air, MY GOD DANG BROTHER had to MOVE the mat above me so I couldnt get up. At that point, I started freaking out and screaming underwater. Luckily, my dad was a few feet away and noticed what was going on, so he pulled me out of the water. I may or may not have barfed everywhere and kinda ruined the party...

why do i suddenly want my shirt to say "signed by jaiden's mom"

I also do the staring at people thing. Once I kept my eye contact with my teacher to the point that she had to keep darting her eyes. I also did this accidentally with my friend and my friend told me I looked like I was trying to stare into her soul 😂

I felt the same thing about the pool filters as a kid. Terrifying.

I can kinda relate to the ‘pardon’ Thing. I grew up with hearing loss and tinnitus. The dynamic duo. Anyway- I used to yell down the stairs at my mom ‘WHAT DID YA SAY!’. My mom ofc got annoyed at this. I still say pardon to this day.
