Family Photo Takes Hilarious #NSFW Turn When Kids Prank Innocent Mum | HuffPost Life

A mum who wanted to capture a sweet family photo with her children was in for a shock when the rascals pranked her.

Christina King asked her three children to line up and help her spell out the word “love” with their arms.

But her three children - Sydney, 20, Mitchel, 13, and Emilia, 27 - had other ideas.

The cheeky trio spelt out the word “cock” instead, while their innocent mum unknowingly created the “O”.

Sydney tweeted the photo last week and it has since gained more than 138,000 likes.

“My mum had no idea that we we had talked about doing this and she still didn’t know when it was actually happening,” Sydney told HuffPost UK.

“She could hear us giggling but we had it so that we were staggered and she was in front so that she couldn’t see us in her peripheral.”

She added that the photographer who took the photo, Gabby Corner, is a family friend, so she wasn’t too shocked by the joke.

“During the shoot me and my sister casually whispered to my brother to do a ‘C’ instead of a ‘V’ and he just played along,” Sydney added.

“When my mum got the pictures back she called me and said she didn’t know whether to laugh or beat us.

“She is the most amazing woman I know and would never purposefully be apart of something like this, but having us as her kids she’s had to have a sense of humour so she wasn’t too mad.”

Sydney added that the popularity of the photo has been a surprise for the whole family.

“I’ve loved that this small thing has made so many people laugh,” she said.

“I never thought it would reach this many people but if it brightened someone’s day a little then that’s great. It is slightly embarrassing though that most of the internet has seen my family spell out a word like that.”

Well Sydney, we think it’s brilliant.

8 Action-Packed Family Breaks in the UK

Mountain biking in Wales(01 of08)

Mountain biking takes you off road, away from traffic and into some of the UK’s most striking countryside. Nowhere is that more true than in Wales’ beautiful Brecon Beacons, where family friendly routes crisscross an ever-changing landscape of rolling hills, wooded river valleys and high moors. The trails are well marked and plenty of cycle hire businesses cater for those who want to try an activity which perfectly combines adventure, exhilaration and the great outdoors.

Playing at Cotswold Water Park(02 of08)

We’re spoilt for choice in the UK when it comes to inland water and the activities that surround it. The Cotswold Water Park, a 40 square mile stretch of sublime landscape dotted with lakes and crisscrossed with paths and trails, offers everything an adventurous family could want. Activities on offer range from boat trips and biking to tree-top adventure and wildlife watching. It even has a beach. (credit:South Cerney Outdoor)

Volunteering nationwide(03 of08)

We don’t expect you to spend weekends in the local charity shop (unless you really want to). Instead, volunteering with an organisation like the National Trust can mean getting out and about in nature while helping to preserve and promote some of the UK’s most important landmarks, from stately homes to stretches of unspoilt coastline. Volunteers act as room guides in historic houses, green-fingered assistants to expert gardeners and coastal conservationists, among many others. (credit:National Trust)

Fossil-hunting in North Yorkshire(04 of08)

If you crave a different kind of day at the seaside why not ditch the candyfloss and sandy sandwiches and discover the thrill of fossil-hunting? Finding ammonites (ancient sea creatures) along the North Yorkshire coast south of Whitby isn’t just a job for eagle-eyed experts. On the day after a stormy sea the foreshore can be littered with the remains of ancient life. You need to know what to look for and where, but there are plenty of guides willing to share their secrets. (credit:Christopher Hopefitch via Getty Images)

Stargazing in Northumberland(05 of08)

Kielder Forest in Northumberland is 250 square miles of scenic woodland and officially home to the darkest nights in England. That makes it an obvious attraction for serious astronomers, and also a wonderful spot for families who want to mix the daytime delights of a forest park – cycling, walking, watersports and so on – with the awe-inspiring panorama of the Milky Way on a clear night.

Wild swimming in Scotland(06 of08)

Firkin Point on Loch Lomond is one of many stunning spots for a thrilling open air dip in Scotland. Wild swimming (swimming in open water) is an exhilarating alternative to the local pool, and perfectly safe if you take common sense precautions. Most importantly, make sure you look out for places that have been designated Family Friendly by the Outdoor Swimming Society. Firkin Point, framed by the picture perfect landscape of the Loch Lomond National Park, is one. (credit:Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park)

Canoeing or kayaking in Northern Ireland(07 of08)

Canoeing is a unique way to enjoy the UK’s great outdoors. Kids love messing about on the water; parents appreciate the scenery and serenity. Northern Ireland’s excellent Canoe Trails suit beginner and experienced paddler alike, with rivers that meander through lush pastures and verdant valleys. Lough Erne and BlackWater are the most family-friendly, and there’s plenty of places to hire kit along the way. (credit:CanoeNI)

Surfing in Cornwall(08 of08)

The windswept young nomad who lives for sand and swell may be an enduring surfing image, but in reality the sport is an increasingly popular activity with adventure-loving families. Cornwall is the UK’s surfing capital, and towns like Newquay, Padstow and St Ives have all the facilities you need to get started, from surf schools and equipment hire shops to quaint beachside cafes for much needed post-paddle pick-me-ups.
