Leave it to Chrissy Teigen to spot a meme when she sees one. The model, television personality, and wife to the apparent Sexiest Man Alive has a well-earned reputation for being extremely online. So when she inadvertently snapped a photo of her one year-and-a-half old son Miles looking, shall we say, ominous, it reminded her of the infamous Disaster Girl meme.
Disaster Girl, of course, refers to the ubiquitous photo of a young girl standing in front of a burning building with an unsettling smile on her face. Oh no, Teigen captioned the side-by-side photos, simply enough. Its unclear exactly what Miles was watching in the photo on the left, although he appears to be standing in front of an airport window. (Thankfully no type of situation went down, as far as we know!)

Others, including Questlove, weighed in on the tweet comparison. One Twitter user even took it upon herself to Photoshop Miles over the original image of Disaster Girl in front of the burning house.
Nailed it

As it turns out, the young girl in the original photo is now 19-year-old college student Zoe Roth. Teigens tweet caught the attention of Roth. Hello Chrissy Teigen I am the child from that picture, she tweeted back. Love to see it.

Another user helpfully added a photo of a now-grown-up Roth standing in front of a bonfire. Dont worry, hell grow out of it! she grew up to be. oh no, the tweet joked.
