First and foremost – the guy absolutely nailed the pose. But the fact that he can lean onto the flower with just one hand shows how strong that thing is! He looks like he just came back from some kind of run. Our theory is that he started the run in 1986 and finished in 2019. It’s the only sensible explanation for these two photos.
After all, Forrest Gump ran all the way across America; why can’t this be true too? Also, we have it on record that the giant sunflower in the more recent photo is the great-great-great grandson of the giant sunflower in the original! Talk about continuity!
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.
A Little Heavier
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and that definitely explains this photo! The first one, taken back in February 1985, shows a proud, albeit tired new dad holding his newborn baby while he has fallen asleep. It’s a tender moment.
Fast forward 34 years later to February 2019, and that baby has grown into basically a clone of his dad! They both have impressive beards. They’ve both covered their sleeves in tattoos. And yet, they still sleep on each other after all these years. Though it appears that the father is starting to feel the pain of his son’s weight.
Santa Still Isn't Thrilled
No matter your age, you can always ask Santa Clause for something. Whether it is a toy car, a real car, candy, clothes, or money. You are never too old to hit up old Saint Nick, and if you haven’t done it in a while, he probably owes you.
It is no secret that Santa is a real person in those shopping mall pictures you always used to take during holiday time. But here it looks like Santa is fake. How else would the big man be able to hold two other big men on his knees? Well, he does fly around the world in one night with flying reindeer and sliding down chimneys with sacks of presents, so maybe he has super strength, too?
