Family Photos That Have A Lot More Going On Than Meets The Eye

Family photos are a treasure mine of entertaining and embarrassing moments that we wish would remain forgotten. We all have a haircut or goth phase that we regret, and no one's school photo is actually good.

The real family photo treasures are the ones that ended up being hilarious by accident. We don't all grow up in homes with expert photographers, so pictures sometimes come out a little strange...

This Is One Should Be Framed And Put On The Wall

The train behind them is parked, so no need to freak out. It was meant to be a cute, aesthetic photo of mother and son, but instead, he decided to have an existential crisis.

That Is Quite The Full Beard

Except that person doesn't have a beard at all, it's just a well-placed shovel handle. They certainly had us fooled, though. They're not nearly as hip anymore but that outdoor bonfire is pretty sweet.

How Lovely, The Baby Came Bearing Gifts

ADVERTISEMENT

That's a classy move, especially for someone so young. It even matches their outfit. Even though this baby isn't actually holding the gifts, I'm sure they wish they could help spread some joy during the holiday season.

This is one flexible cat. It's got its back leg stretched out beside them, but even then it was hard to tell which were their front feet and which was the back foot.

She Does Not Look Very Sure About Her Situation

Did anyone else think that the bag of popcorn she's holding was just more grass and that this little girl had weirdly skinny legs? Well, that makes two of us then.

What Are The Chances?

ADVERTISEMENT

What are the chances that someone would have swim trunks that are exactly the same color as the water? He probably bought them so that they would be camouflaged while he was wading around in the water.

He Literally Walked His Legs Off

This one took me a while, I won't lie. But, in order to be in this family selfie, he had to spread his legs into a sort of dad split so that he could fit in the frame.

Who Else Would Still Pet This Dog?

Having a dog that has two heads would actually be kind of sweet. You would feel like you have two dogs, but you only have to do the cleaning up of one.

Do you even have a family photo album if you don't have a picture of a baby with a human face? It's pretty much a rite of passage that we all must endure.

Puberty is hard. Parts of you are going to grow faster than other parts and all you can do is hope that someday it will all even itself out. Until then, you'll look like a baby with grown-up legs.

Oh wait, it isn't. It's just a model train set that this little baby is taking in. Otherwise, this might have been a little bit reckless, but it looks like his dad has a good hold on him.

The Rare And Elusive Centaur Dog

Luckily the bottom half is the dog part and not the top. If it were the other way around, all that food would have been gone in a second and something tells me the puppy dog eyes would be less cute with a human body attached to it.

What Is Even Happening In This Picture?

It kind of looks like the dog is sucking her soul right out of her body. But, no, it's just the dog's tongue. You gotta be careful about what filters you use because sometimes they can betray you.

Their Faces Blend So Well Together

It was hard to even see the kid's head at first because they even have the same hair color! We knew he had to be there because there is no way that that's a waterproof backpack.

Cats love to sit in things they have no business being inside, like this bra. Why is this the place the cat has to be when they appear to have a whole bed?

Her Arm Is Growing Back Nicely

Not pictured is another child that this woman is holding. Instead, it looks like she has a tiny baby arm of her own. No wonder the kid looks so concerned.

Just Put Your Feet Up And Relax

The weirdest thing about this photo is wondering where exactly the rest of the child is. We can speculate, but we can all agree on one thing: that kid looks like they have some long legs.

Birds are already kind of creepy, so the last thing we need is a moody black and white photograph of one with teeth! They're so in focus, too. It's so scary.

Dogs Are Supposed To Love Their People, Not Eat Them

Another classic of the family photo genre. The beach picture where it looks like something bad is going to happen to them even though it's all just a bit of perspective. This is how a dog yawn turns into a movie poster for a horror film.

One For The Picture Books

I really enjoy how it was one of the kid's reactions to start running away as their friend fell off the fence. At least they didn't have far to fall, and maybe this will cement their bond forever.
