Whether we mean this literally or metaphorically, we've all been caught with our hand in the cookie jar at some point.
And it doesn't really matter whether our reaction is to laugh sheepishly, try to deny the obvious truth of what we're doing, run away, or just freeze with a stunned expression on our face like we've been caught by a dinosaur who won't see us if we don't move.
It's blatantly obvious that we can't explain away what we did, so the only remaining option is to curse our luck and accept the consequences.
But if the photos we're about to see prove anything, it's that at least we're not alone.
