 I know this will be killed in voting but thought it was cute. Maybe a sympathy vote? This was during the Little and T-Ball League Opening Day Ceremonies. They are actually members of a T-Ball Team. Good thing they can't hit, cause they can't quite catch or throw yet either. But they do have a load of fun!

Just so everyone knows, the little guy has to pee. Nothing more! I wanted there faces hidden also - don't like putting recognizable kids on the 'net. Anyway, the kid with his hands on his hips is telling the gotta pee kid that he can't go yet. The girl is just watching them both...

Thanks for all the comments - they really gave me stuff to think about.

I think this is adorable. The more I study it, the better I like it. The placement of the hands speaks volumes. And some of the comments below slay me!

Alternative title: 'Do you know it takes balls?' Seriously, kid's hands and a quizzing look of taller child lead us away from the shot per se...

Cute shot, but where are their baseball gloves, makes me guess that this is more posed than candid? Looks like too many managers, and they don't visit the outfield, they make the outfielder walk to them ... :-) Still cute.

Kind of gross if someone's aprents taught these little ones to really act like this - hope it is as it appears - staged.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

Children are a bit too easy to capture for candids. Not exactly out of anyone's comfort zone to shoot. The children are cute. I like the tones and clarity, and with that a 4 vote from me.

Nice moment! Like it sepia. May be the faces must be more disclosed.
