[...] another gem not to be missed. That’s just not natural. Listen, I should know. One of my BFFs is a [...]
LOL
One word: Photoshop.
I think they all sat in the tree individually then it was photoshopped. That’s why they have such strangely incongruent postures… none of them actually touch at all… and how would you sit in a tree like that with the strength of your thighs & stomach muscles alone. No… they were all leaning against the trunk originally.
HA! I know exactly where this tree is–we have a picture of me with my brothers and sister sitting on it when we were little….lol!!
why do i feel like this is Texas?
Dear lord, has a tree-branch ever, EVER been made to be more phallic? I guess not all photographers must go to art school…
Got wood?
good wood! can you imagine the conversation right before hand…
sons, your mother and I have an idea we want to “spring by you”. you see, when a man loves a woman, certain things happen to your body…. and we’d like to introduce you to the tree that the both of you were conceived under…
HAHA! best one. defiantly the most awkward of them all.
HAHA! hilarious & defiantly the most awkward. LOVE it.
Definitely ’shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few ’shops in my time
Agree with the others about the fakeness. I think their legs look OK but the shadows are missing on the trunk, and I can’t imagine the lighting on their shirts and faces coming from a flash outdoors.
“Monorail hoomans not movin’ too fast”
This just made my day.
I like the dude with the incongruously black jeans like Paul’s bare feet on Abbey Road
“Is that a tree in your pants or are you just happy to see me?”
It took four firemen in a hook and ladder truck to get the Swarovsky family down from the Charter Oak.
Is this a money shot?
Mama is smiling just a bit too much.
First time on the site. The whole “awkward” thing got pretty old after a few pages. May want to try a different angle.
the second son looks like he is sitting on his brothers hand
Glorious – I love how happy the Mom looks – pretty sure this was her idea.
GENIUS!
Brilhant idea, daddy!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Otima hem !!!
I found a picture of one of the best tree, also has other very nice! ahahahahaha
The new verision of jack and the bean stock.
Are they taking off????
You’re right, Keith, the back legs on everyone all look weird.
The dad looks like the host from the Extenze infomercials. ha
I can’t write anything – I’m too busy LMAO.
My Lord…..This one is the winner. Geesh! I will never forget this one.
Wow….that’s all I can say…. that is just not even natural in the least.
“Stand back!!! I don’t know how much bigger this thang is gonna’ git!!! “
Tá todo mundo sentado no pau do pai!!!
“Up we go!” squealed Petunia.
They did not move.
They wondered why.
Holy Sh*t…. im peeing in my pants I am laughing so hard… SERIOUSLY??????????????????????????????????????
I think what may be even more unsettling is…that this may be proudly hanging on the wall of their family room.
Between the photo, the caption and the comments I can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard. OMG
Who was the genius that came up with this pose?
LOL!
This is probably the funniest pose I have ever seen in my life. I am taking notes for the next family photo!
Agreeing with Darn. Not worth the effort. And, even if someone had fixed this image, it’s clear from the closeness of the family members that they were straddling something in the alleged “original” photo, even if they were not straddling a tree. Still awkward…
Wow. They look like a REALLY CLOSE family.
there is absolutely no good reason for this pose…
I can just hear the photographer now…What ladder ??
I reckon even funnier would have been photos of them setting up for this shot and coming back down from the tree too!
‘Um…a little help here? Can you help get us down, please? Anybody?”
I like it!
All I could think was the mother saying ” It’s okay dear you don’t need them now, we have two kids and that is enough ” Just looks painful, especially for the father, either that or his blood pressure just hit the roof LOL.
