We’re not going to lie: this childhood recreation photo seriously vexes us! Why? Well, it has nothing to do with the aesthetics of the actual photos. Let’s just get that out of the way first. Seeing these two licking away on their utensils is fine and dandy. And recreating it is perfectly fine too!
But here’s the context, people. The original photo was taken at one of the siblings’ Blue’s Clues birthday party 20 years ago. While the new photo was just taken at a random Thanksgiving dinner. Why couldn’t they reenact it at the 20-year anniversary birthday bash? See? We’re justified to be vexed!
Bath Time Is Still a Riot
When you are a child, life seems filled with possibilities. Then you grow up and realize that it actually kind of sucks sometimes. You can’t be fed while sitting in a grownup chair, you can’t poop in your pants while you keep talking to your friends and you sure as hell can’t take baths in the smallest of containers anymore. These dudes had enough of that noise.
They thought it was high time to bring back the days when you could take a bath in a bucket and keep your dignity. They had to try it at least once to bring back that feeling of magic. The possibilities really don’t stop when you hang onto your imagination.
Still Not Sure About This Whole Situation
Took a look at this kid’s face and you can clearly see that he does not quite know what to do with his little brother yet. Maybe he was not sure if he was okay with being a big brother yet. Or perhaps he knew his days of sleeping in and having Mom and Dad all to himself were over.
Either way, it looks like all of that is under the bridge, based on the hilarious recreation they did to the right, but he does nail that questioning face. Maybe someone passed the gas and he suspects his little brother.
A Mother's Favorite
When dealing with original photos from childhood, in some cases, it is nearly impossible to fathom how they could get any funnier. These boys proved that it is very possible. The original picture is really adorable and really silly as well if you take a nice long gander at it. These cute boys look really sweet and goofy at the same time, which makes it impossible not to smile.
Clearly, this picture is a family favorite, so when they wanted to do a recreation 30 years later, the choice was clear. With the expressions on their faces and their clothes, we think they did a great job. Thirty years can do wonders for a sense of humor.
The Circle of Life
We really love this picture and not for just one reason. Finishing school can be pretty tough. But for those of us who have kids, it can be even more difficult. The photo on the left shows the father on graduation day holding his little girl while she sweetly dons his graduation cap.
As touching as that is, it is about to get much better, because the recreation is of his daughter’s graduation and now she’s holding him! It ticks so many boxes when it comes to making a great recreation photo! It is silly, light-hearted, and shows off both of their sense of humor, which being father and daughter, might be exactly the same.
