The most painfully accurate memes about the Delta variant ruining our fall plans

We're all feeling so uncertain about what this autumn is going to look like as cases rise and the new school year looms, but you know what they say... laughter is the best medicine. (Well, vaccines are the best medicine. Get vaccinated! Seriously). In these pandemic times, when the news is so scary, all we can do is make memes about it, and the latest topic getting the meme treatment is the Delta variant's plans to ruin all our hopes and dreams for a normal fall.

From My Girl to Titanic and the ever-unpredictable Danish cookie tin, the Delta variant is stepping into the shoes of history's most iconic villains. Here, we've rounded up the memes we think parents can relate to the most (and made one of our own that every person who's breastfed will *feel* the second they see it).
