Sometimes you really can't help but put a middle finger up to the world.
Things happen that leave you fed up with everything around you, which eventually culminates to a hearty flip of the bird and a half-arsed 'get fucked'.
It usually happens as life begins to grind on you because of work, bills, and the rest of adult life. This is not the case for Christian Mackintosh, however, who is only three weeks old and already sick of your shit.

The premature baby has been having his picture taken by his mother, Sam, to document milestones in his life.
When she tried to snap him with a sign saying 'I'm three weeks old', the entire innocence of the pic was ruined by him giving the camera the middle finger.

It doesn't stop there, either, as Sam says that he let out a big yawn when she placed the sign near him. That is the typical thing to do when you've grown sick of the whole birthday charade.
"But as I took the photo, his middle finger came up as if he was actually swearing," Sam said. "It was hilarious and although Christian was obviously oblivious, his little face was actually grumpy, too.
"Me and [my partner] Paul have had a few laughs over it since. It's impossible not to notice his middle finger when showing people the photo."
Christian was born eight weeks early and was a "bag of bones", according to Sam, weighing only three pounds.

The youngster spent 34 days in hospital after being born, but is now home with his mum and dad.
"I was terrified but decided to order the little signs online for every milestone he hit while in hospital as a distraction," Sam said. "They said things like, 'I'm breathing on my own' and 'first time I'm wearing clothes', as I knew it would be nice to look back on when he's older.
"And after giving us his middle finger after turning three weeks old, I don't think we will forget that milestone for a long time."

Despite the initial worries about Christian, he has grown and Sam has given advice to those who have a premature baby.
"I would tell any parents who have a premature baby to sit back and watch them grow," she said. "So much is taken away from you when you have a baby early that you should try your best not to stress and get anxious.
"It was horrible when we came home and he was still in hospital but we knew one day that he would be allowed home once he was strong enough."
Sam and Paul decided to share the picture of their son in order to raise awareness about premature births. They said that he's 'overcome a lot for such a small baby and we're so thankful to have our cheeky monkey home for good'.
