Tomm Tennent: The unique baby born with enough skin to cover the body of a five-year-old child

Back in 1993, the birth of a baby boy named Tomm Tennent from South East Australia stunned not only his parents and doctors, but pretty much the entire world. The story of his mysterious condition which left him with enough skin to cover the body of a 5-year-old made everyone wonder what life would bring for this boy.

Tomm’s parents were aware their bundle of joy would be different, but no ultrasound could prepare them for the severity of the condition. When they were told something was wrong with their baby, they even considered terminating the pregnancy, but luckily, that didn’t happen.

Speaking to 60 Minutes Australia, Tomm’s dad, Geoff Tennent, said back in 2003, “When he came out I was quite shocked (…) I didn’t think a human, or a little baby, could ever look like that.”

His mom also spoke of the moment she first saw her baby boy. “My heart came up to my throat, but at the same time it was lovely to pick him up and cuddle him,” she said.

Over the years, Tomm spent a lot of time at hospital, not because he was sick, but because doctors wanted to examine his condition and learn how to help him. Since the literature never documented a case like his before, they had a hard time learning what caused him to have so much excess skin.

Upon further research, they were finally able to give Tomm and his parents some answers.

Namely, experts saw similarities between the way Tomm looked and the Chinese dog breed Shar Pei. They discovered that Tomm’s level of Hyaluronic acid, found in skin, was 100 times higher than normal, which is the case with Shar Pei puppies.

Knowing that those levels drop as puppies grow older, doctors hoped the same would eventually happen to Tomm. And they were right.

However, until reaching that point in life, Tomm experienced certain difficulties. Besides that, he has always been a lovable boy who loved the way he looked.

When asked if he had any concerns about how his friends saw him, Tomm told 60 Minutes, “Not really (…) because they are my friends and they don’t really care how I look like. Sometimes they (people) say I look cool, sometimes they say I look really cool, and sometimes they don’t say anything.”

Since 2003, when Tomm and his parents gave the interview to 60 Minutes, 21 have passed. Today, Tomm looks completely normal, no excess skin at all.

Although his story didn’t receive much media attention while he was growing up, except for, of course, when he was born, many people wondered how Tomm looks like nowadays.

Well, according to his Facebook, he’s happily married to wife Hannah.

Meet Tomm today.

“Life’s simple. You make choices, and you don’t look back,” Tomm posted on his Facebook profile, and we assume this quote sums up his mindset and his whole life.

Isn’t it nice to see him after so many years?

This Is Super Funny.

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus,she noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again:

The man seemed more amused.

When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself……

“Well your Honour, it was like this – When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said.

“The Double Mint Twins are coming” and I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said.

“Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling” and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said.

“William’s Big Stick Did the Trick” and I could hardly contain myself.

But Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said.

“Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident” I just lost it.”

CASE DISMISSED!

A man and a woman are sleeping together

A man and a woman are sleeping together when suddenly there is a noise in the house,

and the woman rolls over and says, “It’s my husband, you have to leave!”

The man jumps out of bed, jumps through the window, crawls through the bushes, and out on the street, when he realizes something.

He goes back to the house and says to the woman, “Wait, I’m your husband!”

A Teacher Asks The Class To Name Things That End With “Tor”

A teacher in a school full of bright young things made the decision to use an interesting word game to encourage the students’ inventiveness.

The task was to think of terms that finish in “tor” and have a voracious thirst for goods. With great excitement, the kids held up their hands, prepared to take part.

A self-assured young child led the line, confidently yelling, “Alligator!” His large and impactful word choice won him praise from the teacher.

As the next student excitedly cried out, “Predator!” the entire classroom was filled with expectation.

The kid received praise from the teacher for having an amazing vocabulary.

And Little Johnny was the next. Johnny, who is renowned for his quick wit and mischievous demeanor, piped up in a tone that was both innocent and ‘spicy’. “Miss, v***ator,” he said.

The teacher was having trouble maintaining her calm as the entire room burst into giggles.

Once the laughter subsided, the teacher replied, “That’s definitely a big word, Johnny, but it doesn’t actually consume anything.”

Unfazed, Johnny confidently explained, “Well, my sister has one, and she says it eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow!

Rome Trip

A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: ” Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty.. You’re crazy to go to Rome .. So, how are you getting there? “We’re taking BA,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!” “BA?” exclaimed the hairdresser.. ” That’s a terrible airline.

Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?” “We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome ‘s Tiber River called Teste. “Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump. “We’re going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope. “That’s rich,” laughed the hairdresser.

You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it…” A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome “It was wonderful,” explained the woman, “not only were we on time in one of BA’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class.

The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a £5 million remodelling job, and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge! “Well,” muttered the hairdresser, “that’s all well and good, but I bet you didn’t get to see the Pope.

“Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me, “Oh, really! What’d he say ? ”He said: “Who the f did your hair?

Jennifer Called ‘Worst Dressed,’ Rocking Disco Ball Outfit with Full Side Cutout at the 2024 TIFF

Jennifer Lopez turned heads at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), not only for her daring outfit but also for her personal life. The actress arrived wearing a Tamara Ralph silver metallic gown that created a “mirrorball” effect, exposing both sides of her body and held together by black velvet bows. Critics quickly took to social media, labeling the dress “inappropriate” and “one of her worst looks.” Some felt the outfit lacked class, especially for a film premiere, but a few fans praised Lopez for her boldness and confidence.

Adding to the intrigue, Lopez’s appearance came shortly after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, her co-producer on the film *Unstoppable*. Affleck was notably absent, reportedly due to work commitments and spending time with his children in Los Angeles.

Matt Damon, Affleck’s close friend, attended the event with his wife, Luciana Barroso, leading fans to speculate about Lopez’s interactions with her. Despite the media buzz, Lopez remained poised, posing for photos and engaging with attendees.

Though opinions were divided on her outfit, Lopez stayed unfazed by the negative feedback and the ongoing drama surrounding her personal life.

Mrs. Perks asked her class

The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, “Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?”

No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, “You should not be asking sixth-graders a question like that! I’m going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!”

Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, “Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?”

Little Mary’s mouth fell open.

Then she said to those around her, “Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!”

The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, “Anybody?’

Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, “The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.”

Mrs. Parks said, “Very good, Billy,” then turned to Mary and continued.

“As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn’t read your homework. And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed.”
