Twitter users are hilariously rewriting the history books with the Internet’s latest trending topic, “Gonna tell my kids.”
The funny meme works sort of like a white lie parents tell their kids -- but it involves taking a historic or popular figure and replacing the person with a random image of a pop star or cultural event.
Part of the magic is to pick the perfect doppelganger or image that best captures the desired feeling.
