We’ve all had our share of embarrassing childhood photos. Those photos that your mother took of you like your first birthday or your first trip to the beach. Most of the people I know have experienced that dreaded moment when your mother asks you to stay there while she goes and gets her camera. Making you stand there while she takes around 20 pictures. I’m pretty sure that most people have had this experience at least once before in their lives. “My mom always told me and my brother that we were always really weird so she liked to save the photos to show us when we were older,” Gisselle Medrano (11th grade) said. But having all these photos isn’t always a bad thing, for many people, it’s a show of growth and maturity, from when we were a toddler. Childhood photos are not just for your mother to bring out randomly and show you, but they’re the only thing that shows us during our youth: infants don’t start developing memories and object permanence until they are around five years old. “I always like seeing old pictures of my brother so I can tell him that he was a weirder kid than me,” Medrano said.
