It’s really tough being a toddler. Adults expect you to behave in illogical ways, try foods that look weird, and if that wasn’t enough— there’s some truly terrifying stuff in the world!

You know, like your shadow.

This baby girl notices her shadow for the first time, tries to outrun it, and then turns around only to be doubly terrified.

I feel you, kid. (And I’m sorry for laughing. Really.)
