Ah, the pleasures of a communal swing. Because let’s face it, who wants to swing along by themselves? Well, a lot of children, actually. But this group of siblings absolutely loved hanging out together on their indoor family swing back in the day.
And it seems that they still can’t get enough of it now that they are adults. Amazingly, the shelves behind them haven’t changed either! We love that they also stuck to the exact same facial expressions. It’s a real talent getting this kind of reconstruction so right. We have to take our hat off to these wonderful siblings.
Pest Control
There is nothing quite like the curiosity of a child. Little ones will leave no stone unturned and will do whatever it takes to inspect every kind of new discovery. It’s funny how children can fear insects even less than adults. Ah, ignorance is bliss.
Take this kid, for example, who stumbled across a cricket back in the 80s, and gave it a check over as it crawled on his hand. Travel to the future, 2020 specifically, and that same boy is playing around with crickets in what looks like the Grand Canyon! We doubt it’s the same cricket, but hey, stranger things have happened!
The Time for Overalls Has Passed
Overalls are adorable on just about any little kid or a farmer, however, they should not see the light of day if you don’t fit one of those two categories. Kidding! Wear them if you got 'em. Actually, we bet some rappers from the 90s and maybe hippies can rock overalls too.
Seriously though, these two guys should have checked with the fashion police before recreating this look for their photo. Anyhow, this might be one of the funniest recreated childhood photos on this list. The original was already pretty funny, but stack on 20 years and facial hair and you'll get something pretty amazing.
Smell Me, Everyone!
The little boy in the back seat knew he wasn’t supposed to have his feet up in the back seat, but did so anyway and wasn’t wearing shoes! That could not have smelled great. They had to document this clear disregard for his siblings' noses and the rules, so that one day they could show him what a cheeky monkey he was.
This was a prime photo for recreation and it shows. Look at the rebellious look he has again, and this time his brother and sister are even braver because his feet are big, hairy, and extra smelly. At least it looks like he clipped his toenails. That would be where most people draw the line.
Five Kids, Five Looks
Looking at the original, you can tell that each of those siblings has a special place in the family. You can also see that they have a very tightly-knit kind of relationship and that they have each other's back no matter what. Those qualities can easily be seen in the recreation of the photo years later.
The sister on the right quite literally has her baby brother's back. Some details in the recreation definitely call for an honorable mention, like the brothers on the left wearing the same shirt, and the sister in the middle with her toes showing at the bottom. Great job!
