I would cry too
The image displays what appears to be a hospital room scene where a woman is holding a newborn baby. The woman and the baby are the focal points of the photograph. The woman with her eyes partly closed looks joyous, if a bit exhausted, capturing what may be one of the precious early moments shared between a mother and her child.
The baby, wrapped in a blanket with a multicolored hat on its head, is captured mid-cry, with its mouth wide open in what is likely its instinctive response to the new environment it now finds itself in after birth. This image of a crying newborn is a natural and common sight as it is often the first action babies take to fill their lungs with air outside the womb.
Adding to the setting is the woman's unique appearance with her brightly colored hair partially dyed pink and matching pink eyebrows, alongside multiple facial piercings that contribute to her distinctive look. Her aesthetic is a contrast to the conventional image of a new mother, which adds an element of personal expression and modernity to this age-old scene of life beginning.
What lends the picture its humorous element might be the caption "i would cry too" accompanied by a tearful emoji. This suggests a playful connection between the baby's cries and the woman's unconventional appearance, insinuating humorously that the baby might be reacting to her standout look.
The humor arises from the notion of the innocent newborn being in shock or surprise at seeing a person with such a striking hair color and adornments for the first time. Although in reality, it's well understood that newborns have limited vision and hardly any capacity to make such judgments, the idea plays into the human tradition of attributing adult-like thoughts and reactions to infant behavior.
It's important to note that humor like this is often subjective and based on gentle playfulness rather than any intent to mock or offend. People might find the juxtaposition between the typical and expected with the unconventional and surprising to be amusing. It's a harmless way to celebrate both the new life of the child and the individuality of the parent, using humor to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
