【2017 Archives】

017 Archivesworld 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.
