Why Has This Photo Of An Older Man Holding A Baby Set Social Media Alight?

What do you do if you have to attend a university lecture and you haven’t got a sitter for your baby? Hope that this bloke in the picture is the lecturer.

This awesome photo was reportedly taken at a small college in Jerusalem. A student took her baby to class with her for lack of choice and when her bub started to cry she did the best thing she could and stood up to leave the classroom.

What happened next will warm your heart.

The photo has been shared on Imgur and viewed over a million times in the last two days. The caption reads:

So one of the students came with her kid, because she didn’t have a babysitter. The kid starts to cry in the middle of the class, so his mum, all embarrassed gets up to leave, and the professor took the kid from her, calmed him and continued teaching.

What a legend!
