This is clearly staged. The kid in the lion costume might be able to get them on his/her fingers, but the toddler certainly doesn’t have the coordination for that and was obviously helped by an adult. All the stuff on the floor is too neatly placed also. When have kids ever been this neat when getting into stuff? I hate when people stage photos just to try and get a laugh.
By saying it was staged you ruin other peoples thoughts about the picture, even if they thought it might have been staged, it was still funny. But when someone barges in and slams the picture, well it kinda ruins the picture.
I don’t think this was staged. My guess is the older kid could have helped the little one some, but what else would you do with a paper tube? Put it on your finger! LOL I still think this is hilarious.
Have you thought for one moment that maybe big brother put the applicator on his little bro’s finger? I love the pic, I think it’s hilarious and I could SOOO see my kids pulling something like that… this is far from staged, so quit trying to ruin it for everyone.
Gee Trevor,
You seem to be jumping to a flurry of conclusions – you might be surprized at the breadth of toddler imagination and dexterity. Staged or not, the eyes and mouth of the tyke in the stripped shirt seem to reveal genuine amazement. Give it a rest. Recognize that the two chidren are having a good time. That and the insight into your own life are the important bits – not any potential for cheap or possibly exploitive laughs.
Besides, if this is indeed staged, the ‘inserter’ held high by the awe-struck discoverer is on the wrong digit!
In the Navy or any branch that still uses the regular black combat boots (they’re now “sand-colored” in the Army), tampons are very useful in polishing said boots; they work better than anything I’ve ever tried.
Hmm, my husband was just asking me the other night if I would polish his boots (yes, they still issue black ones for dress). Great tip, I’m going to try it!!
I don’t think this photo is staged…I’m sure a mom with two little ones has many more things to take care of besides staging their kids surrounded by tampons in a picture.
With regard to the little one not being able to put it on his finger…ever think that maybe the older brother put it on his finger for him….this way they both get the blame, not just the older one!
My son did that too! He goes “Mommy, I put up my art like we do in school!” and I was thinking he’d drawn on the wall or drawn on paper and thumbtacked it to the wall. No such luck – I’d just had a baby and an ENTIRE pack of “supers” had become WALLPAPER. He did make them into a “scene” though, they weren’t stacked up like bricks.
That’s awesome lol glad I’m not the only one! My 2-year-old stuck an entire box of panty-liners all over the wall, cupboards & toilet of our small main floor bathroom when we had company over…one of our guests politely asked if we had another washroom he could use and I just about died when I saw her little masterpiece :O
A friend of mine’s two small sons took out all of her pads, peeled the backing off and “papered” the bathroom-while she was having a dinner party. Nice surprise for one of the guests.
Oh and to the person who says that it was staged 1) too expensive to waste 2) too much explaining to do to kids 3) the look on the toddlers face is exactly that of a toddler who wanted what his big bro had, and his big brother put one on his finger, hence the look on his face. 4) I would surprised if the person who says it was staged has kids
My favorite story is my good friend who found his mom’s pads and used them to cushion his bike seat. He thought he was really smart until his mom told him, red-faced, what those “cushions” were for!
My nephew, when he was 2 or 3, used the super pads of his moms to stick to the toilet seat and make it cushioned like the ones they can buy at the store. Pretty smart kid! These types of pix are priceless & tickle the funny bone all the day long. I can’t get that younger one’s expression out of my head. HILARIOUS!!!! Thanks for sharing.
of course the one kid has a lion suit on, why else would he need “claws”…and like a good brother, he didn’t want junior to feel left out. F’ing hilarious. I love it.
Hah realize people don’t know Child
Development! At 13 months my son found my tampax
And took them,stuck them in his nose, played elephant,
Then proceeded to dip the tampons in toilet
To watch them go big … Big mama !
My Mom once heard my two older brothers laughing so hard, and saying, “Mom will be so happy”. She picked into the bathroom where they both were dipping Mom’s sanitary napkins in the toilet and scrubbing the walls with them!!!
The lion costume is as cute as the “toys” I love kids in costumes! My son wore Superman every day for MONTHS! Then it was the Spiderman halloween costume, then the Thing costume we found at a garage sale. Grocery shopping to the park etc, LOVE IT

Looks like Tampax signed Wolverine to an endorsement deal – maybe there will be product placement in the sequel!
hehehe!
where have you been all my life?
such intelligent underappreciated comedic genius & no spelling errors … we should start an AFP wine & wisecracks group!
(After that comment, I feel it is important to note that “whine” has an “h” in it, which makes that very possibly the best comment ever)
(After that comment, I feel it is very important to point out that “wine”, as in the drink, does not have an “h” in it)
(After that comment, I feel it is important to note that Graeme is a failure which makes that very possibly the best comment ever)
I’m very happy for you and I’m going to let you finish, but why in the hell is that kid in a lion suit?
the funniest picture I think I have ever seen
The look on the little boy’s face is priceless
Oh my! This is HILARIOUS!!!
These toys are good for all ages. . . when they are older they make great projectiles for slingshots and other weapons. Ask my sons!
The lion costume really makes the photo.

just goes to show you that you never know what kids are doing when they are quiet.
That’s not true, when kids are quiet they are engaging in monkeyshines. It’s one of the laws of physics or somehting….

No was this is staged… that stuff is expensive & now MOM has to make another trip to the store before the next visit from Aunt Flow.
By saying it was staged you ruin other peoples thoughts about the picture, even if they thought it might have been staged, it was still funny. But when someone barges in and slams the picture, well it kinda ruins the picture.
I’m pretty sure this was not staged. I’ve worked with toddlers for years and the majority are entirely capable of putting a tube on their finger.

Oh, now, get a life and increase your imagination and sense of
humor.

Hilarious! I <3 the look on the face of the smaller kid…. He looks SOO amazed! lol

OMG!!! I am am always amazed at what kids will find entertaining! This is too funny and adorable!

ROFL
The name of this should be “Where the wild things are”
At least they’re playing with them on the floor, not stuffing them in the toilet, which is what my 3 year old did.
Oh, that’s awful!! Mine stuck up a wall of pads about 4 x 4 on my hallway-wall!!
My son did that too! He goes “Mommy, I put up my art like we do in school!” and I was thinking he’d drawn on the wall or drawn on paper and thumbtacked it to the wall. No such luck – I’d just had a baby and an ENTIRE pack of “supers” had become WALLPAPER. He did make them into a “scene” though, they weren’t stacked up like bricks.

The baby is hilarious he is so amazed!!!lol so cute
they both looks so cute, the girl with lion costumes and the boy doing finger puppets.
Oh thank GOD!! my kids aren’t the only ones…
PRICELESS!! (Not the wasted feminine hygiene products, those things are expensive!)

Through the wardrobe lies Narnia. The cabinets in moms bathroom… Whole nother place!

I find it pretty spot-on that the liners at the bottom make a perfecr “T”. T for tampon, anyone?

Was it Tinkerbell? It may have been my niece. That’s her typical Weds.
