If you have been on Twitter long enough, then you must have seen the photo of a kid with a funny frown while collecting a gift.
In recent weeks, the photo has been used as a meme for different kinds of conversations and responses. While there are many memes like that, it is not every day their owners speak up.
On Thursday, May 6, the young man with the Twitter handle @EvansTed101 claimed it was his photo as he placed a present snap of himself beside it using the "How it started vs How it's going" format.
