What's not to love about a good stock photo?

You know, the ones you see in magazines where everyone is smiling (even the babies) and you think "No way any of these are even remotely close to real."

Well, they're not. They're missing the appropriate captions.

The next time you come across a stock photo of a baby reading a board book instead of eating it, or sitting on a white couch without projectile vomiting all over it, you know it's missing something.
