With smartphones and social media, it’s easy to forget how simple life used to be when we were little. When we were able to have fun and play games with things as simple as a piece of string. Take these two brothers for example — a simple cardboard box and some sunshine were all it took to make one of their best childhood memories.
Cut to a few decades and a few tattoos later, and these two are still inseparable. Great Photoshop skills, guys, for a minute we thought the background was really there! Hopefully, they still remember to enjoy trivial things and have fun in the sun.
Vacation Mode
When people go on a family vacation they are always a little different. They can let loose, blow off some steam, and hang around in swimwear as there's always a pool nearby. Or a lake. Or a beach. This family definitely ticks every box on the family vacation checklist.
Looks like it was a wonderful experience that everyone enjoyed. They enjoyed it so much they had to recreate at least that one special picture years later. The father's hair was already gray and the little brother was so much taller than his sisters, but the memory is all that matters.
Making a Mess
What a mess. Notice the cabinet on the left of the child is locked closed. That must be there for a reason. This baby is good at making messes, it is clear. So good in fact, that the parents had to take a picture to show the world how much of a little punk she was.
Now all grown up, she wanted to recreate the magical photo that made the rest of her family lock their cabinets when she came around. Making a mess is ill-advised when you are older because you are the one who has to pick it up. But if you are remaking a wonderful photo just like this, making a mess for something this epic is definitely a worthy cause.
Never Too Old
Being the youngest sibling has its perks. You can lay on your mother and grandmother’s lap until the cows come home, and they love it too. Then you have to grow up and if you try to do it again, people will think you are a momma’s boy. No one wants to be called a momma's boy even if it is true.
So it appears the best way to be able to nap on your mom’s lap again is to recreate all of the photos with you on her lap when you were little. Of course, you might want to take it easy on your poor old mom.
Pinching Since the 1970s
Siblings have been known to fight once in a while, or all the time. It always seems to be about the dumbest things. This picture exemplifies this perfectly. The kid on the far left gives the baby in mom’s lap a great reason to want to fight. He pinched the baby's arm with a straight face. Getting pinched is not up on the list of what many people like to have done to them. So that screaming is well warranted.
Maybe the mom should have taken a little more notice to prevent a full-scale war. It looks like she had her hands full anyway. The daughter in the back is just chilling minding her own business. Keeping it chill is the best way to live with siblings. You avoid trouble and if it ever comes your way, your parents will know it is not your fault.
