Never too big for mom’s lap.
We all have strange childhood photos. Whether it’s of us dancing in a Halloween costume, gurgling on an aunt’s lap or posing awkwardly with siblings, these are the sorts of images that let us reminisce about what it was like to be a kid. Well, what if you compared yourself then and now? Would you really be that much different?
That’s the idea behind Young Me, Now Me, where users upload images of themselves as children… right beside a present-day reenactment.
Like in the photograph above, many of the images are hilarious. People have recreated childhood photos by posing and dressing in adult-sized baby clothes, or just by recapturing a lost spirit of goofiness. Other examples are more sincere, like one of a family laughing and linking arms just as they did years before.
And you can add your own photos. Just grab a favorite pic of yourself as a kid and repose accordingly. Upload your “before and after” pictures to Young Me, Now Me, and join in the public ode to childhood memories. Because as the old saying goes: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
