People are loving this 12-year-old’s observation about these spuds

“People are like potatoes.”

Cassie Delaney

Younger siblings come out with some of the strangest things. And as an older sibling, it’s your job to never let them forget.

One 19-year-old from England as just immortalised her little sister on the Internet for her odd, yet beautiful observation about potatoes.

Maria asked her little sister Noor to give her a hand preparing the dinner. Noor, 12, did as she was told but not before she documented her innermost thoughts on Snapchat.

Reflecting on the beauty of the potatoes she wrote:

“People are like potatoes. The colour of skin or marks doesn’t matter.”

In a second snap showing the peeled, exposed inside of the vegetable she writes:

“They’re all the same once the skin is removed.”

Cracking up, Maria tweeted screenshots of the snaps and has gone super viral. People are loving Noor and her insight.

“I just found the whole concept so funny — I never thought of potatoes like that until her Snapchats,” she said.

The tweet has been retweet over 26,000 times and liked more than 21,000 times.

The metaphor is really inspiring folk.
