Grumpy Cat has finally met her canine counterpart: Earl the Grumpy Puppy. Relatively new to  Facebook and  Instagram, we’re sure it won’t be long until this pouting puppy gains the same meme-worthy stardom.

Even if you don’t have pets, we bet you can relate to that mean-mugging face that’s too funny not to Instagram. As cute and giggly as they can be, babies have a mean streak that they don’t even try to hide. Case in point: these four times baby was arguably grumpier than Earl the Grumpy Puppy.

The “I have to go to the bathroom” death stare

The “I didn’t ask for this closeup” frown

The “choosing to ignore you” head tilt

The “naptime is a ridiculous suggestion” scowl

The “feel sorry for me” pout
