About the Baby Crying Then Smiling Meme
A black-and-white photo of two babies sitting side by side on a couch. The baby on the left is laughing with its whole body, head tilted back, mouth wide open. The baby on the right is screaming with the same intensity but in the opposite direction, face crumpled, mouth open in full wail. The side-by-side contrast makes it the simplest possible before-and-after format. Label the left side with the good thing, the right side with the bad thing, and let the babies do the rest.
A black-and-white photo of two babies sitting side by side: the one on the left is laughing hysterically, the one on the right is mid-scream.
