    How exactly does the text match the meme?

    Isn’t it supposed to be someone looking down / disappointed on someone else for their actions?

      It’s from the 2006 movie Monster House. In the movie, the guy just finished helping a kid, and then decided to steal the kid’s snack and eat it right there in front of him. I think the face in the meme was originally supposed to be a kind of “what are you gonna do about it?” face, but people now use it for disappointment / dread / concern.

      The version we see here is “AI enhanced” so it’s somewhat deviated from the original.

      I’ve seen this meme used in so many different ways I don’t even know what it’s originally supposed to be for. lol

    Wrong meme template, but the story hits right in the emotions. I once met a kid on an Outward Bound boat trip. We spent the entire time talking about fantasy novels, and did not really interact with anyone else. Trip lasted a week. We were 12. Never saw him again.

    I met a kid on holidays. It was in a caravan park in the gold coast in the 80s. We played Uno at his van, then entered the parks swimming competition. There was a race for teams of two.I was below average, but he swam like a dolphin and we won because of him. I still have the tshirt somewhere.

    I met the kid at a Shoppers (remember those?). He was playing with his Bionicle and asked me if I liked them and talking to him felt so natural. Never asked his name. Never saw him after that. Just a memory. 👌

    Had to have been 35 years ago. I vaguely remember what he looked like and what park it was. We banded together and recruited a bunch of other kids to play hide and go seek tag.

    Shout out to you homie, wherever you are.
