#6: Easter “Firsts”

This vintage Easter photo is one blink away from a full-on Pixar short. A baby and a chick, face to fuzzy face, in a standoff so pure it’s almost surreal. The wide-eyed stare, the intense finger clasp, and the chick’s unimpressed side-eye give “first contact” energy.

While it’s meant to be sweet, there’s something oddly theatrical about it, like the chick’s about to demand to speak with the baby’s manager. Is it heartwarming? Yes. Slightly unsettling in a “who blinked first” way? Also yes.
