You know that moment, when you had so much confidence and you were sure you were going to pull something off…and then, the second after it’s too late to change your mind, you realize things are not going to turn out as you planned?

It’s not a great moment, when it happens to you. When you’re watching it happen to someone else, though – particularly a child you most likely warned ahead of time, it can be just the slightest bit funny.

1. At least he tried.
