Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

TikTok user @racheltaughtme has sparked something of a mystery-solving exercise with a recent video showing someone's childhood portraits for sale at a thrift store.

The video, which has hundreds of thousands of views at this point, was shot at the Rogers Road location of the Value Village thrift store in Toronto, Canada. Jinkies, that information might be useful for solving this mystery, gang!

In the clip, Rachel shows viewers six childhood portraits of the same boy at various ages as they sit up on the shelf for sale. The text overlay on the video reads "Who's son is this" followed by some crying emojis. Under that, she wrote "Your parents donated all your photos, man."

Her caption? "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation to all this."

Take a look.

@racheltaughtme

I’m sure there is reasonable explanation to all of this #fyp #thrifting #valuevillage


To be clear, Rachel isn't an "influencer" or "personality" on TikTok - but that didn't stop the 5 second clip from getting big attention. People seemed compelled by the mystery.

Who is the little boy?

Why are the childhood portraits at a thrift shop?

How did they get there?

The post turned into a writing exercise for some people who tossed some potential plots around in the comments. They were pretty much all traumatic.

While others claimed to have a personal connection to the kid in the pictures.

Others weren't as interested in the story that got those childhood portraits into the thrift shop - but they loved the idea of what might happen next.

And of course - the obvious, timely, and necessary joke:

Rachel didn't set out to spark an internet-wide mystery, but that's what has happened. We don't have answers, but people are hoping the video eventually brings the boy or his family forward.

Until then, this remains an Unsolved Mystery.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
