It was inevitable.

First lady Michelle Obama hugged former President George W. Bush at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, and people on the internet immediately went into overdrive.

Redditors used former chief White House photographer David Hume Kennerly’s heartwarming picture of the first lady embracing her husband’s predecessor to engage in a good old photo-editing battle.

They amusingly reimagined Bush as a sleeping baby and an actual bush ― while presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton also made an appearance.
