20 embarrassing childhood photos that are too funny not to share
Some of these kids probably rue the day the photograph was invented.

Not every photo can be frame-worthy. But these pics are keepers for a totally different reason.

In some cases, we have to wonder why someone decided to take a photo rather than help, but most of these moments are too funny not to be memorialized.

1. OUCH!

He was told not to climb the fence. Now look at him.

He has the ultimate wedgie.

2. Potty fail

This is a potty fail. But it depends on how youโ€™re looking at it. Being backward might make it easier for him to go.

3. Well, the concept is similar

This little boy was looking for the Bandaids. He thinks he found them.
Thatโ€™s definitely not a Bandaid.

4. Frankly, thatโ€™s kind of a win


Now this kid knows how to relax. He drew himself a nice bath AND made himself a nice plate of wings. He knows how to treat himself.

5. Princess in a bun


Some girls want to be princesses. And some girls want to be hot dogs. It takes all kinds.

Was she sitting on the counter and trying to slide off?

And if so, where were her parents in all this (aside from behind the camera)?

7. Holiday horror

This is the kind of fear the Easter Bunny instills in some children. This poor kid is so traumatized he jumped up on the table.

8. Bring your kid to work day

This is the bossโ€™s son. He looks like heโ€™s going to be an important guy someday. You can tell by his face.

9. Head mop

We just really hope he washed his hair when he got home.

Thatโ€™s quite a tantrum to put up with.

10. A โ€œniceโ€ dinner

Her parents thought it would be nice to go out to dinner. She had other things in mind. Like pretending her feet are her head.

11. Little piggies

Kids are so trusting. But yeah, thatโ€™s just gross.

This is one for the photo album AND the graduation party slideshow!

12. Down the drain

No one wants to remember the time they fell into the toilet. Unfortunately for this little guy, this memory is forever.

13. Troublemaker

14. But how?

We think this is probably better used to embarrass parents later on than the poor kid.

How did they let this happen?

15. Oh, nasty

Smearing poop is next-level embarrassing. In fact, weโ€™re even kind of grateful that this kidโ€™s face is obscured in the photo.

16. Condiment confusion

What a mess! And how did so much get on her head?!

This is definitely one to bust out during a 16th birthday party or a wedding.

17. Food fail

The look on this kidโ€™s face is priceless. He looks like heโ€™s contemplating every decision heโ€™s ever made in his life. Poor kid, heโ€™ll get over it.

And if he ever becomes a great chef, he may laugh when he looks back on this fail.

18. Cat boy

Apparently, this little boy wants to be a cat.

Itโ€™s an interesting life choice but to each their own.

19. Got the blues

This kid is feeling pretty blue. This kid now knows the meaning of permanent. He looks very regretful.

20. All smiles
