\"At first I was upset because those were his first school photos,\" Kinley said, \"But the more we looked at them the more we couldn't stop laughing.\"

Kinley posted the photo to a mom Facebook group that she is a part of and they all told her the same thing, \"You need to post this, it will go viral!\"

Kinley posted the photo to her Facebook with the caption, \"I'm sure everyone needs a good laugh these days so thanks to my latest mom fail...you're welcome in advance haha. Mason got his kindergarten pictures and I didn't want his name on the bottom so I typed in 'I don't want this' and they freaking printed this...so now I have like 30 pictures of him with this on the bottom. #idowantthis #if2020wasaschoolphoto #sorryMase\"

The post has gotten thousands of comments and Kinley is glad that her \"mom fail\" can make other people laugh.

\"Mason will ask me if people are still laughing at his picture,\" Kinley said. \"He's proud you can tell.\"

Kinley did order another set without her special message but she won't be getting rid of the other ones quite so fast.

\"We plan to keep them and probably hang them up,\" Kinley said. \"It's our family's memory of 2020 now.\"
