Babies are some of the most beautiful creatures on Earth. Fresh from the source of whence they came. They smell good and are absolutely adorable.
Well, some of the time. When newborns arrive in this world, they’ve been through a lot. They were just squeezed out of a narrow birthing canal and were dropped into a new world.
As a result, they can come out looking a little bit squished. Or old and wrinkly. Despite their fresh youth, those newborns can end up looking like little old men. Let’s call them “wise” so we don’t offend their parents!
Here are 75 babies that look wise beyond their years:
1) Who Touched the Thermostat?
Why does this baby look like my dad after I touched the thermostat? It’s like he’s listening to me explain myself, not accepting my plea to alter his thermostat setting, then yelling at me to NEVER touch it again. When this baby stops paying the bills is the day that you can touch that thermostat.
This baby is looking like a swaddled Mr. Magoo. Kid looks like he has years on him with all those wrinkles. He even got some neck sag going on, looking like he just turned 87.
Another day, another dollar for this tyke. You’ve seen that face many mornings in traffic when you look at the car next to you. Hopefully, he’ll like his job better when he grows up.
This baby had too many milks and passed out mid-sentence on the couch after telling everyone in the room how much he loves them. It’s happened to the best of us. Hopefully, someone gets this kiddo to a Milkaholics Anonymous meeting soon.
This baby is definitely a spitting image of his father. Literally. He looks like a 30-something who is tuckered out after a long day of work.
Ahhh, finally… the weekend. Time away from the job at the quarry. Getting his R&R while taking a dip in the pool. Life is good for this middle-aged baby.
7) Heading to the Sock Hop
I’m not getting married couple here, more like a teen couple. In my mind, these two are going to the sock hop. Then they’re going for milkshakes at the soda fountain. Then maybe some smooching at Lookout Point.
This baby looks like he’s pondering his next line to get you to buy life insurance from him. He’s wondering why the last line didn’t work. He’ll get you with this next pitch.
One day this baby will grow into his head. Until then, he’s going to look a little bit like George Costanza. I don’t know why, but this baby just has real strong George Costanza vibes coming off of him
