At some point in every person's life, they become aware of their own mortality. This is one of the things that separates us from animals... the inescapable knowledge that one day, we and everyone we know will be gone. Most of us reach this point in late childhood or early adolescence, I think.

The baby in this picture just figured it out, at a MIGHTY early age. (Click the pic for the full-size version, to get the full extent of this infant's existential moment.)

I almost posted this as a comment for that photo, but I was afraid the family of the existential baby might not share my sense of humor. :)
