To cheer people up after the Boston Marathon bombings, mother and blogger at MommyShortsIlana Wiles started a cute photo meme that involves putting babies in mugs.
Easily achievable if you have a camera, a mug and a baby, these photos are actually optical illusions created when one holds a cup in front of the baby—the babies look like they are sitting in the cup but are actually just lounging in the background.
The relatively new meme has since taken the internet by storm, with mothers and non-mothers alike joining in—you can view more of these “Baby Mugging” pictures under the hash-tag #babeinamug and #babymugging on Instagram.
If you can get your hands on a baby, why not make your own Baby Mugging photos—it will definitely bring a smile to someone’s face.
