Two Brothers Recreated Their Childhood Photos For Parents’ Wedding Anniversary

When it came time to get their parents a present for their anniversary, these two brothers, Matthew and James, came up with a fun and unusual gift idea – they took a bunch of old childhood photos and reenacted them as adults.

The contrast between the grown-up brothers and their childhood photos is jarring but funny, especially when one of them is covered in tattoos from the collar down.

It’s a fun and unusual gift idea, but it’s part of a fun fad that’s been going on for a while. We’ve written about before-and-after childhood photos made by plenty of different people, so take a look if you like the idea!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
