One of the things that never ceases to amaze us is the human variety. How different people are in terms of face, culture, and social conventions. Oh, and how calm they can look when a snowball hits them in the face. This man looks like he is about to enter an epic snowball fight, but the ball has not yet landed, this is the minute before the mess.
This is also a guy that I saying to his kids (or his long-time college friend), you can through as many snowballs as you want on my face. I am not going to scream, laugh, or through anything back.
Perfect Parenthood Pictures
We've all been there. Our toddler insists on doing it all by himself (or we've had enough and can't be bothered to push the swing), and then, before you realize it, they are down and have landed on their faces. The mother (we feel it's the other "they") got this on camera because she was filming her child anyway. Ouch!
This hilarious moment was folding the previous 10 minutes that sounded something like this; "Film me on the swing, film me on the swing, mummy, you are not filming me, I can see you talking, film me on the swing."
Not so Sweet 16
Sweet 16th birthday. Being able to drive a car legally. Moving closer to being able to vote. Inching towards being able to drink legally. It doesn't get any better than that. Well, actually, it does. There's news, and politics, and student loans, and having to earn your own money.
So basically, sweet 16 is our way of trying not to cry when thinking about the loss of our childhood. Anyway, happy birthday, darling! I made you a cake... Oh lord...And on the contrary, 16 is first kisses, first proms, first boyfriends, and first boyfriends with cars. Should I continue?
A Striking Manscape
One could take in the beautiful landscapes of the South China Sea all day long. But who would think a man’s body might look like a reflection of an island mountain range? He looks just like a carbon copy of the landscape, like a mountain’s shadow. He’s a living, breathing manscape.
William Blake once said all the world can be seen inside of a tiny grain of sand. So, a man in a mountain, or a mountain in a man, it’s not too far off. And for those little creatures on the sand, coming across this had really strained their daily outing, collecting shells and seaweed for their dinner.
It's Called Dodgeball for a Reason
There is nothing like s good game of dodgeball to separate the coordinated from the uncoordinated. The poor girl in the picture seems to belong in the second group, but that doesn't mean she's doomed. Once she gets her glasses fixed and learns to dodge balls properly, she might even make it into the school team. Or not.
It's either that or she thought this could make a great Halloween or fancy dress costume and then decided to add a ridiculous look on her face to spice things up and make it look authentic. Either way, it looks hilarious and this is a perfectly timed photo.
