I miss you so much daddy!
So cool! How old was he then?
What was his job? Love the little looking suitcase he has 🙂
How nice! I’m also from São Paulo, though I live in MA now. I started working full time at the age of 16. How about your dad?
Handsome lad!
From your replies, I am sad to see he has already left this world. RIP.
Your Dad looks 12 or 13 but also has a look like he carrying the same responsibilities of a 40 year old
Aww, your dad is Mr. Manager!
Happy Father’s Day Are you guys in Brazil now or in the states
A beautiful little boy. What was his job?
Undercover cop?
He’s looking all spiffy!
Lindo!
Sao paulo is a crazy place. Went there 10 years ago almost
I was a Mormon missionary in São Paulo from 1968-1970 and I have great memories of being there. Way back then, it was the biggest city I’d ever been in and I really liked seeing all those big old movie theaters, among other things.
I also spent about 9 months in Ribeirão Preto and have lots of great memories.
Always wanted to go for a visit but didn’t manage to do that.
This is very old school cool. Like like into a time portal. Wild.
Looks like he should still be in school. What age did he start working?
I like how proud he looks. We all know that feeling when we have ‘grown up’ responsibility for the first time.
My first job was in a German steel factory/machine shop at age 14 in 1969. 3 months during summer break. I didn’t speak the language. I took a steam train to work…at 6am each morning. We each got a pint of beer at 10 am …I was popular because I didn’t like beer and the other workers in my group tossed coins to see who got it. I stayed an extra hour each day and was paid a big bonus to teach the owner’s son English…just meant hanging out together so paid for being friends and getting treats at his house.
personally i don’t think child labour is cool per se.
Mini executive with his little briefcase. I love it.
I own a small software company and always try to hire Brazilians. They start working at very young age, so even if they are 25 they tend to be very mature and professional. Also they are the nicest people ever. Source I’m Argentinian and risk losing my passport for speaking highly of them lol.
carai com 13 anos teu pai era guardinha?
“bro why’d you bring a briefcase? You runnin a mop. ”
In all seriousness your dad looks rad af
Wait what? He looks like 13 years old here
This need to be posted on r/13or30
Did they not have child labor laws?
What a shitty country
r/suddenlycaralho
Is he 14?
Literally 1984
Looks like he sold insurance during recess.

A young Fred Armisen
A child
Back in the day when you dressed up to work in the mines. Kids these days…
What did he do?
Gotta get on that grind early
I see he started at an executive level.
He looks 12 and terrified.
ah yes nothing like an exploited child in poverty, being abused by the capitalist’s system
​
love it
I got my first job that same year. 12 years old and delivering newspapers. Sundays, I had to be up ungodly early, pre-dawn. Other days, a little later. The job was super labor intensive. Getting to the paper drop-off and rubber banding each paper. Loading my bike. Delivering each paper.
I got hit by a car once, thankfully they clipped my bike and I was not injured. My papers scattered across the intersection and they drove off in a hurry. Because, fuck that 12 year old that was just trying to do good.
I had to knock on doors to collect payment from my customers. Until, one day, one of the girls in my city – just 13, was murdered doing the same thing. Christy Ann Fornoff was a lovely little angel and when she was taken, I no longer had to get money.
It was a different time, making 12 and 13 year old bear the weight of employment. I am not sure I will make my son work until he is sixteen or so. Definitely not delivering papers.
