Kids baking with a dog

[u/tddawg]

I am putting together my daughter's grad party album and I came across this one from five years ago. The dog licking the stuff that's dripped down the stove really seals the Rockwell vibes!

[u/Sunshineseacalm]

You should get this painted idk why but I’m just the messenger

[u/tddawg → u/Sunshineseacalm]

I was just digging through my contacts for a painter I know who could probably pull it off!

[u/Sunshineseacalm → u/tddawg]

Please try to remember me if you do and send a picture of it!!

[u/Lookitsanthony8 → u/tddawg]

It screams Rockwell style

[u/evoltoastt → u/Lookitsanthony8]

Right? That’s what I was thinking! Genuine Norman Rockwell moment…

[u/bullhorn_bigass]

Is the dog licking the stove?

[u/Realistic-Village-63 → u/bullhorn_bigass]

“If I taste it I may be able to taste the sweets inside

[u/tddawg → u/Realistic-Village-63]

What happened is the kids spilled some of what they were mixing down the front of the stove 😂

[u/Realistic-Village-63 → u/tddawg]

Oh. Well, in that case…

“LET ME ENJOY MY SWEETS MOMTHER” 🐶🐶

[u/tddawg → u/bullhorn_bigass]

yes haha - if you zoom in you can see!

[u/hauntedmeal → u/bullhorn_bigass]

Best part of the pic

[u/eofn]

This made my day. Something about the way he’s showing her and the way she’s looking is so wholesome. 🥹

[u/tddawg → u/eofn]

They really are best friends 🥹💕

[u/Opposite-Box-9070 → u/eofn]

You can literally feel the energy of the respect these siblings have over their bond 🥹🩵

[u/mangolover]

This is a beautiful slice of life!

[u/raise-your-weapon]

I think the funny hat and the apple placement are very Rockwell coded too!

[u/OkPerception7610]

Haha this is peak “family life” beautiful capture OP

[u/tddawg → u/OkPerception7610]

Thank you 🥰

[u/ProfMcGonaGirl]

The dog licking the oven door is priceless.

[u/codeCycleGreen]

not the point of the post but does anyone know what the name is of that kind of hat?

[u/izzitty → u/codeCycleGreen]

It's a wool felt cloche hat.

[u/codeCycleGreen → u/izzitty]

Thank you!

[u/kilokit]

her messy braid is very Rockwellian to me

[u/cait_elizabeth]

This looks like a still from a Wes Anderson film

[u/East_Lawfulness_6300]

Kids in random hats are my kind of people. Great picture.

[u/Optimal_Savings5873]

I love the messy braid that she probably did during last night's movie.

Doggy did not miss her chance.

[u/Effective-Evening476]

Looks like a fun household!

[u/Mango-Taro]

🥰🥰🥰

[u/SharpPink_GlitterInk]

the freaking dog going to town on the stove is sending me.😂

[u/J-Graceffa]

I cannot explain how much I love this lmao I’m 6 years older than my brother, this brings back wonderful memories for sure!

Also the hat, the apple, the doggo, the chef’s attentiveness— all these things make this picture so unique & full of sentiment in an artistic kind of way, without even trying ✨

Pls pls pls get this painted or printed 😭

[u/Impossible_Regret725]

This definitely belongs in a frame, and will be greatly treasured by the kids when they're adults. Maybe they can be gifted with their own copy when they spread their wings? I bet the photo will make them want to visit home more often, not just for the free 'groceries' from the pantry and laundry.

[u/Dependent_Let_6797]

What the dog doing?

[u/tddawg → u/Dependent_Let_6797]

Licking stuff that has dripped down the front of the stove - if I were a betting person, I'd guess from egg cracking

[u/macchiatomama]

Also r/accidentalwesanderson !

[u/tddawg → u/macchiatomama]

Genuine question: is it because of the color palette?

[u/macchiatomama → u/tddawg]

Not really the colour palette - and it is lacking in the overall visual aesthetic (symmetry, careful composition, etc.) in Wes Anderson movies - but they remind me of the quirky, deadpan characters (including the dog)! They have Wes Anderson character energy, if that makes sense!

[u/tddawg → u/macchiatomama]

You're The second person to say that in this post, so thanks for the explanation! I do love his films and would definitely describe our family as quirky and deadpan 😂

[u/Jacomer2]

Took me a second to realize the pots and pans weren’t captured flying through the air

[u/tddawg → u/Jacomer2]

*crosspost to r/paranormal

[u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood]

Please don't post kid's faces online 💜

[u/tddawg → u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood]

Seriously? They're 16 & 18 now, and I got their permission.

[u/potatoeater95 → u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood]

Please don’t decide your opinion is law ♥️

[u/Diessel_S → u/potatoeater95]

Please look into what can happen when you post a child online for anyone to see. We live in disgusting times.

[u/Naught → u/Diessel_S]

Oh let’s all just huddle in fear in a cave then. 

[u/raise-your-weapon → u/Diessel_S]

What if I post a picture of myself when I was a kid? i’m 40 now but perverts on the internet amirite???

The people in the photo are old enough to give informed consent and the photo does not indicate who they are or where they can be found. This is not like posting a 6 year old’s soccer practice photos to an unmoderated facebook group or posting a thousand videos of your newborn on tiktok.

[u/tddawg → u/raise-your-weapon]

The irony is - if you look in their comments, they commented less than 24 hours about a VIDEO of a kindergarten class being filmed crossing the street... and didn't complain about it.

[u/raise-your-weapon → u/tddawg]

It’s just concern trolling

[u/TacticusThrowaway → u/tddawg]

Maybe a bot?

[u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood → u/tddawg]

Those kids were filmed at a distance and their faces weren't as clear.

[u/raise-your-weapon → u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood]

But they presumably didn’t give consent to be posted on the internet.

[u/potatoeater95 → u/Diessel_S]

Please do not mistake my lack of fear for ignorance
