The world witnessed the birth of a brand new meme on Sunday.
It all started when Redditor cox-in-fox posted a photo of his wife happily running away from their baby propped up on a hay bale. He explains that the mother was trying to get out of the way of a photo, because every parent can understand how difficult it can be to get that perfect picture with a young kid.

But the photo was too good for the internet to leave alone, and the thread quickly turned into an impromptu Photoshop battle. Eventually someone posted the photo to the subreddit r/PhotoshopBattles and things really took off from there.
