    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.

    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.

    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.
