AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Mother Ignoring Kid Drowning In A Pool' meme features an image macro of a family photo taken in a pool setting. In the image, a woman is seen happily lifting one child up in the water, while another child directly behind her appears to be struggling to swim. In 2020, this image was expanded to include a second panel depicting a skeleton seated underwater, directly beneath the original scene, adding a macabre twist to the meme.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme originated from a Reddit post on April 11th, 2018. A Redditor shared the image with the caption 'My cousins learning to swim. circa 1980s.' Over time, this photo gained popularity and was transformed into an object-labeling meme, seeing various adaptations and edits that circulated widely.[1]
