They have the rocks and babies!
With their mouths open, looking ever so slightly terrified, these two children have every right to look concerned.
That's because there is absolutely nothing fixing these two enormous rocks together.
The large-scale boulder sculpture, called 'Rock on Top of Another Rock', was unveiled at the Serpentine Gallery in London's Hyde Park today.

As these pictures show, from certain angles the sculpture looks anything but safe.
However, artist Peter Fischli today assured people there was no risk from the sculpture.
The Swiss artist said engineers had worked with him to ensure the work was stable.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: 'Especially from certain angles, it has this moment of doubts.
'It's kind of faking something that nature might have done. But the English park where it sits also has this idea of faking nature about it. It fits the park perfectly.'
The idea behind it came from Fischli and his long -term collaborator David Weiss, inspired by a previous commission in a boulder field in Norway.
The glacial rock was sourced from Wales when Weiss died of cancer at the age of 65 last April.
