Meme lore
What is the Skeptical Kid meme?
Skeptical Kid (Skeptical Third World Kid / “So You’re Telling Me”) is a 2012 photo of an unnamed toddler in Gulu, Uganda, giving side-eye while Chicago doctor Heena Pranav speaks to him. The joke is disbelief at a privileged or out-of-touch claim — not a generic frowning child.
