By now, everyone has seen the throwback photo of Michael Phelps giving a 9-year-old Katie Ledecky his autograph.
Now that the two are both gold medal-winning Olympic swimmers, they found the time to take a quick break from slaying in Rio to restage the "awww"-inducing shot.

The 10-year-old original photo, which was provided by Katie Ledecky's family, shows Phelps signing an autograph for a young, grinning Ledecky.
Their updated version, shared on Instagram by USA Swimming, turns the tables. Phelps is patiently waiting for a Ledecky autograph. He is adorably smiling even wider than 9-year-old Ledecky was, and Ledecky nails Phelps' I've-been-signing-autographs-for-hours-I-can't-smile-anymore expression.
Unfortunately, Phelps' awkward arm placement was not honored in the recreation.
