If you look closely, I think you can see glasses on her 'good' eye, too. I thought so too, at first, but I think she’s wearing glasses.

LOL - I totally agree About the youngest... If it had been a girl it would've made a funnier picture. It's a boy. Early 1900s. And by the way, that's not only NOT a dress that's actually 'boys clothes' see the belt? Aside from the shirt like quality of the sleeves and cut, a girl would have a higher sash more around her waist usually tied as a bow in the back. The 'dress' itself would be prettier and more feminine in appearance. Also the child has on boy's shoes. It's actually an outfit of the well-to-do and would even do for older boys. A younger and poor child would have something like a long shirt or modern day night gown (for the diapers thing) and would get new 'pieces' added on the hem as they grew. And yes 'steps and stairs' is a really a phrase from when they had large families like that. How do I know? Buster Brown Great Photo - I wonder if their descendants are as awkward? Also if that middle boy ended up in prison or congress. “Lucy says:

Especially the mother's face/eyes. It might be something with the lighting or she could actually have something wrong about her face or eyes....not sure. This looks like something out of The Ring or would fit very well in a haunted house/halloween or horror flash game. Something like that. Heh. I think this picture is more creepy than awkward.

Girls' parts were usually in the center. Also, the little one has its hair parted one the side — generally done for boys. Girls’ parts were usually in the center.
