The child is slinking in. This wonderful picture catches a moment of early mischievous activity. The picture most likely shows a small youngster trying to be stealthy, maybe stalking an unaware victim or trying to get by a watching parent. Presumably including hilariously exaggerated tiptues, an extremely serious expression of concentration, or an amusingly inept attempt at concealment, the photographer has deftly recorded a moment of exaggerated stealth. This picture gently illustrates the discrepancy between a child’s view of their sneaking ability and the reality of their less-than-subtle technique. It reminds us of the purity of childhood and the universal experience of attempting to be sneaky—often with wonderfully evident outcomes. The picture asks readers to remember their own early attempts at concealment and the delight of lighthearted mischievous activity.

Already rude is this. This picture catches a really funny moment of social misconduct. The picture probably shows someone, maybe unintentionally, crossing a line of polite behaviour in such blatantly obvious manner that it becomes funny. Perhaps demonstrating an extreme breach of etiquette or an unintentionally insulting behaviour, the photographer has managed to record a moment of social embarrassment at its height. This may be anything from someone chatting with their mouth full at a formal dinner to a more severe faux pas that leaves spectators clearly astonished. The picture offers a funny critique on social mores and the often narrow line separating good from bad behaviour. It asks viewers to consider their personal encounters with social mistakes and the occasionally capricious character of etiquette guidelines.
