There is just something about the way kids take pictures that is pretty funny. The only thing that might be funnier is when adults decide they want to take those same pictures, decades later. As weird as kids look in some of these poses, they seem to be right at home in them. Then we discard childish things and grow up. Only to feel the strange, unworldly desire to recover what we once had. Something like Inventive Principle 34. Something like this…
For some reason the desire to recover former (Principle 38) super-powers is a strong one…
Or…
Sometimes, maybe, innocence is also a superpower….
Finally, although the idea is to try and get back to what once was, sometimes the urge to reflect that perhaps not everything (Principle 35) stays the same…
Or not…
