Wait, did you, with your hand, present to your parents a plane hitting the second tower? Also this is hilarious

I feel bad about laughing at this

u/WeissWyrm 3h ago

It's been longer than 22.3 years, we're allowed to laugh at it now.

There's a good chance he was dropping one in the bottom picture. Poor parents / whoever had to change that diaper.

Isn't "here comes the airplane!" something parents do when handfeeding their little kids eith a spoon, to get them to eat?

Kid thought the towers get fed

Man. The juxtaposition of a happy, carefree child in front of the collapse is crazy

Edit: that's also how old my boys are for the 25th anniversary

u/PuppiesAndPixels 16h ago

Honestly I just laughed at it because of how absurd it is. And then I felt bad.

•

u/ImInTheUpsideDown 9h ago

I had a similar thought when I asked my mom where she was on that day. She said she was making food for me. Then I started thinking about the horrors and having this innocent lil baby to take care of during it all and I got sad

u/SnooFloofs1805 13h ago

In fairness, It played all day on every channel. Everyone was numb and at some point you had to concentrate on your own family. The backdrop was just an unfortunate part of photo.

u/dichron 17h ago

Yeah wtf were OP’s parents thinking? “Omg national tragedy, let’s make sure to commemorate our baby’s reaction”

•

u/chupagatos4 43m ago

We all had our TVs on all day long that day. We ate in front of them and did everything in front of them. It was the first time in my lifetime that there was a 24 hour news cycle that most of us were aware of. We were expecting war at any time.

I can’t believe a baby was ever this politically unaware or so self-involved as to totally ignore world events. Man, that baby is like in a bubble of his own wants and needs. Bad baby.
