People Recreated Their Childhood Photos And They Reek Of Nostalgia

Childhood is the best part of life, and there's no one who can deny the ease and simplicity of being a worry-free youth. What's funny is most of us don't realize how easy we once had it, until we look back on nostalgic moments of our younger years. Here are some entertaining before and after photos of children and their adult selves, decades later.

A family beach day is no fun if you don't spend hours creating sand castles that will, in time, be washed off the shore. When building temporary kingdoms by the sea becomes boring, you can always resort to burying yourself in a coffin of sand and startling people passing by with your bodyless head. We all need a partner in crime to get the trick done and Sofia and Brian were always a great prankster duo. Ten years later, the mischievous siblings dug another hole in the sand and relived their epic days of being buried in the grains.

Some people's petty side only starts to come out during their teenage years,  but we're pretty sure Miranda knew she was a straight up baller from the moment she exited her mother's womb. Nothing says I don't give an "F" more than a flick of the middle finger and a shot of whiskey to top it off. At 6 years old, she was the gangster of the neighborhood and as you can see, nothing has changed since then. Here's to not giving a darn!

Raising a nutjob like Joey wasn't an easy job for his parents. Although the star of this photo received two degrees from a couple of prestigious universities and became a respected lawyer, he has always stayed true to his wacky and wild self. In honor of his 29th birthday, Joey climbed into a white onesie and created a collage of him at 7 years old and him twenty years later. We don't know if we should laugh or cry...

Everyone has that one friend who is a pro at bad manners, and Sandy is a perfect example of a born and bred slob. Spaghetti and bolognese isn't something we'd advise you to eat before taking your picture, but Becky clearly doesn't care. Although she has aged over the 30 years since the initial photo was taken and now rocks an edgy haircut, you can't deny the resemblance between the two blonde girls in the photo. Sandy's eating habits haven 't changed a bit, but she is still adorable.
