Boys will be boys

I recently added this photo to Pinterest and love it. Why? It reminds me of my boys. The little guy in front, a little apprehensive as he bites his bottom lip. His hands, shyly twiddling and his eyes, gentle and earnest. In contrast, the monkey behind is full of mischief, a confident hand on the hip and a cheeky grin framed by scruffy, tussled hair and ruddy cheeks. With all that being said, he tucks himself behind his peer... just in case, just to be sure.
These boys are my boys. Are they yours?

Emmy Andriessen - Walcheren, ca. 1951, collection Prentenkabinet of the University of Leiden

This is the sweetest photo ever! I only have one boy but I can see a little of him in both of these little guys.
