There are some childhood photos that shouldn’t be recreated. Exhibit A is here, but luckily it is hilarious. The original picture is one of the most legendary childhood photos ever taken. Between the insane look on his face, and you know, pulling the Fruit of the Loom tighty whities all the way up there is just pure comic genius.
We salute this guy for having the guts to even recreate a picture that many would be way too embarrassed to have even taken in the first place. You can take the child out of the wild, but you can’t take the wild out of the child. And you probably can’t take that big a wedgie out without notifying a doctor.
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!
Going on a Road Trip
No matter how old your kids are, there is nothing like a long car ride to help them fall asleep. Something tells us those children were no strangers to road trips and late-night travels to exciting places and camping sites.
This must be why they chose to recreate this picture so many years later. And so well, if we might add! The choice of clothing could not have been any closer! Sure, some things are different, like facial hair or the fact that the little sister no longer fits in the little booster seat, but the sentiment is definitely there.
Dogs Aren’t Just for Christmas
There’s nothing like sitting around by the Christmas tree and taking some quality photos together. This group of siblings is a prime example of that, and they even managed to get their pets in on the action too. But when you’re doing a recreation photo, sadly, there is a good chance that the pets aren’t the same ones that were in the original.
We believe that’s the case here. Thankfully though, the new pets managed to give a pretty strong performance, honoring their predecessors in the new photo. It seems though that one brother was more accurate with his attire than the other. We can’t deal with these inconsistencies.
Jealous, Much?
There’s something about sibling dynamics that are consistent in virtually all families. There’s the firstborn who makes the most mistakes. There’s the youngest who gets spoiled the most. There’s the only child. All of these stereotypes are there for a reason.
This photo perfectly shows the old brother who’s suddenly jealous that his newborn little brother is getting all the attention. And it seems like this dynamic didn’t change for a long time. The younger brother is still getting all the love, and the older one just has to sit there and sulk. He got the expression down to a tee!
