Kids Who Are Gonna Grow Up To Wish Smartphones Never Existed
It's so lame to say, but the world really was a different place before we had smartphones. Living in the moment was easier, and having pictures of everything we did really didn't seem to matter the same way.
Kids these days seem happy to have all their technology, and they don't know any different, so we can't really blame them. But there is one downside to it: the fact that smartphones take great pictures, and now we have more opportunities to capture moments kids might wish we would forget.
Thank Goodness Someone Was There To Capture His Horror
This little guy was terrified of the alleged Easter Bunny that came into his classroom to hand out candy. He's never going to live down this shame—or the ongoing nightmare.
Sure, Let The Kid Be In Charge Of The Bubbles
This kid is lucky that he got this mistake out of his system while he was still young. Some people don't get to figure this one out until much later in life.
How Did She Get That Cheese On Her Nose?
You know that when she starts dating, this is going to be one of the first pictures her parents pull up to show her new partner. That's the only reason anyone takes photos of moments like these.
He Looks So Confused
When asked by his mother to change into something appropriate for yard work, this young man came downstairs in this dinosaur costume because sometimes that's how little kid logic works.
"OK, Now Gently Kiss The Dolphin"
As he will later learn when he starts dating, licking someone on the face is not the same—or as welcome (probably)—as kissing someone on the face. That poor dolphin is probably going to be haunted by this meeting forever.
Let's Be Real, Kids Can Be Super Spooky
With their imaginary friends and the weird drawings they always create, it's a wonder people aren't constantly freaked out by their own children enough to want to maybe leave them alone.
Now That Is One Serious Mozza Stick
She will probably never stop eating mozza sticks, and she shouldn't, but she will learn to eat them like a civilized person, like the rest of us, where you choke a little bit on the cheese as it goes down.
He Doesn't Seem Too Bothered
He'll be glad that people in the world saw this, because for years after, people are going to want to know exactly how he pulled this one off. Let's hope he got to keep that toy he worked so hard to get.
Anywhere Is A Place To Nap If You're Brave Enough
Why not on your sled, on the porch, with a helmet on, in the middle of the day? She'll look back on this picture and fondly remember napping. She'll wish she'd taken advantage of them more.
Nothing Like A Cool Sip Of Water On A Hot Summer's Day
Honestly, kids are gross, and while she will probably be disgusted seeing this photo as an adult, she will stand by the fact that dogs are great and she would do anything for her dog.
When You Need Space, You Need Space
What to do when you want to have the delicious meal your family cooked but don't want to interact with anyone? Well, you come downstairs in a comforter, of course. This kid is 100% an introvert now.
Pringles Are A Terrible Thing To Waste
It would be interesting to know if that kid ever did make it to jail, or if they are still living with their freedom, their freedom to enjoy delicious Pringles.
The Background Characters Steal The Show Again
Brothers and sisters are meant to be on each other's nerves all the time. So when this picture comes up and she teases him about still being super self-involved, not much will have changed since childhood.
What A Beautiful, Photogenic Child
Every person has one super unfortunate picture of themselves from when they are little that is so bad, even their facial recognition on their phone wouldn't pick it up as sufficient.
Yes, The Classic Face Smashed On The Window
A good many people do this even as adults. This would be a great one to do one of those then-and-now remakes that are so popular these days. I bet his parents would love that.
A Kid's Gotta Do What A Kid's Gotta Do
Snorkeling in a fountain is not exactly what most people would do in their spare time, but letting kids do their own thing helps build character. And we all need more character, I guess?
Can't Turn Around For A Minute, Can You?
Why would someone get out of the nice, warm tub to sit in a cold, shallow toilet like some kind of animal?! Maybe he just isn't someone who likes baths.
"Now Let Me Explain"
He probably still makes that face when he is caught doing something he shouldn't be doing, because little boys never really change. Not that much, anyway. Honestly, he probably dresses the same, too.
He Met The Love Of His Life Young
I wonder if this young man ever found someone to love as much as he loves this ketchup—because it would be a real shame if he peaked that young.
That Little Kid Is Not OK
He's using sign language to make the sign for "help," which he clearly feels he needs if he's ever going to get away from this—we can only assume—murderous Santa Claus.
That's A Great Helmet
He's just decided that he needs to wear this wherever he goes, like it's the most normal thing in the world. In these cases, it's probably best to not ask questions and hope it's a phase.
Food Before Everything
Even your long-term feud with your family. When pizza is served, though, you figure out a way to get your slices in and ignore the people you don't want to talk to.
Well, That's A Bit Of A Situation
Why is it that you have to explain to children that they aren't cats and won't fit anywhere and everywhere they want, no matter how hard it is they try?
A True Hero
HBO should do a documentary special on this little girl. I think we would all like to know where she is and what she's doing these days. Enquiring minds and all that.
He Looks Horiffied
He thought he could get up at 3 a.m. and watch cartoons with all those snacks and that no one in the house would hear him. He has to wait until he's at least 17 to get away with something like that.
What Lovely Bath Toys
At least they're still wrapped so that they don't suck up all that bathwater and leave that poor baby with nothing to do but sit in a cold, empty tub!
"But It Was The Dog, I Swear!"
This little boy decided that he couldn't be bothered to get up and go to the bathroom, so why not pee in the drawer? When caught, he tried blaming the dog. He's going to be doing that for the rest of his life.
She's Probably An Award-Winning Journalist Now
You have to start following those passions when you're young in order to cash in on them later. That's what they always tell us anyway, right? This girl and her cat are proof.
Fads Come And Go, But Pictures Are Forever
This little girl has some serious class, but she's going to look at this picture and feel like a foo,l because times are always changing and it won't be long before dabbing is outdated.
This, However, Will Be Perfect Forever
A little kid in a Michael Myers mask is never going to get old—it's the perfect combo of spooky and hilarious that makes you feel glad that you're alive at the moment.
