Looking back at your photos that were taken during your childhood? It can be funny, embarrassing, and nostalgic all at the same time. Cuteness aside, the expressions, clothing, and accessories that may have been a hoot when you were a kid are even funnier when you replicate it later in life. Here are 20 photos where families have recreated a shot from childhood that have had some pretty amusing results.

Sticking Together Like Mud

Sponsored Links:

Mud – as any parent knows, kids loving playing in it, they will eat it, and they will slather and smear it all over their bodies just for fun. These guys, whether brothers, cousins or just good friends, have obviously enjoyed the togetherness of mud wrestling together for years.

Introducing the Parka Family

Being caught in the rain on a family outing and donning your parkas to keep dry and warm can be fun. Somehow, the boy in blue on the left here seems to have shrunk in the water or the bad weather, but the other two siblings on the right have clearly grown.

The Seaside Straddle

Being picked up by your dad and straddled when you are out for a paddle is an awesome memory for many kids. However, when you are obviously adults, it does seem a little wrong! Or maybe they are just trying to cover their dad overexposing himself in his midlife Speedos?!

The Seaside Pout

The son on the right has not quite pulled off the same seaside spout for this re-creation – he is looking a little more pensive than pout-ish this time around! The younger son in the middle looks happy to be out of his nappies but ready to leave his proud mom’s grasp!

The Spaghetti Slurp

Who hasn’t wanted to slurp up a big plate of spaghetti just as they used to when they were a toddler. Be honest! It may be one of the only times in life you can get away with looking pretty in pink when you have a food mess all over your face!

Crowded Showering To Save Time and Water

This is possibly a favorite trick of many busy moms after a trip to the seaside or pool to wash off salt or chemicals – just pile everyone into one tub to shower at once. Why does someone always end lying in on the base of the tub in the water blowing bubbles though?

Up to Their Necks in It

Going by the expressions in the first photo here, this may have been a big brother smirk, and a little sister freaking out. Big time. It does seem though that the big brother does not seem have been as keen to taste as much sand on his face in his later years!

Dungaree Dudes

Aww, kids in dungarees always look cute. Skip forward a few years though, and a shirtless look with a pair of denim Dunga’s is a little different. You have to wonder if the seated brother has kept the same hairstyle for all these years, did he wear a wig, or have it especially cut?

The Seventies Shorts

Nothing screams it is from the 1970s more than a pair of beige colored boys or men’s shorts! Perhaps a president distracted the younger brother; hence, the self-conscious pull to the leg of his shorts. These boys were brave replicating the look on an outing back to Capitol Hill some 20 or so later!

Schwarzenegger Snips

Yep, even famous have fun with their family photos. They have lost the temporary tattoos the second time around. Arnold is also not looking too sure on his handiwork with a razor in the second shot, but … he did say he would be back!

Family Road Trips

Here’s one way to solve the problem of your little brother in the back seat kicking the back of your seat on a road trip – have him throw his legs over the seat and hold them down! You have to love the way the little bro in the back still seems as chilled as he was when he was younger.

Pre and Post Puberty

Do you remember those pre and post-teenage years? They can certainly be sad, worrisome times for everyone. Nothing seems to have changed here for this young woman. Not even the table or countertop accessories and flowers in the foreground or the background.

Blanket Babies

The sweetness and innocence of your babies wrapped up in their blankets is something that many parents miss. This image of what looks like a boy and his newborn brother translates more into brotherly fun, humor, and affection later in their lives.

Fitting In

Every so often, the attempts to replicate your earlier years just do not go quite according to what you had planned! These three young things in their PJs did not quite fit in the confines of a modular box crate on their second time around as adult men!

JDs with Attitude

This little lady dressed in lilac and wearing lime green socks looks like she has just stolen a seat, and a drink, from one of her parents. And so be it. You cannot argue with that. Fast forward a few years and the face looks even more innocent than it did the first time around, but the finger says otherwise!

Serious and Not So Serious Steps

Going by the background in the first photo this looks like it father and sons are attending a church service around Christmas time. Everyone also appears to be wearing their serious Sunday best. Not so much second time around – the middle son has an awkward child pose and the dad is clearly straining to keep it together while holding his younger son!

Beavis Buddies

These kids are still transforming into their Cornholio alter egos from their younger days of Beavis and the Butt-Head. Hope they tape their poetry and rap when they do. There never used to be any memory of what happened during the alter-ego phase!

The Backyard Boys in Breeches

Boys, boys, boys … yes, you are sure to always get a laugh when you pull your shorts up above your belly buttons. On the plus side, if you have developed a beer belly later in life, what greater way to flatter your figure! As for the poor lad in his diapers, poor boy, words cannot say …
