Comments on: Happy Mother’s Day! http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/05/10/happy-mothers-day/ Spreading the Awkwardness Thu, 24 May 2012 00:31:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Suzy http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/05/10/happy-mothers-day/comment-page-6/#comment-1243207 Suzy Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:50:22 +0000 http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/?p=866#comment-1243207 My question is, who posted the photo and what did the poster think was awkward? I think this was a nice idea that came out a bit odd in the presentation...the camera "took away ten years", making the subjects look young young young even if they aren't, dad's appears to be giving mom a hoy-hoy pat on the fanny, and the "topless parents" theme that was so popular a few years ago (much like the heads-in-a-wineglass trick of the '80s) never really worked out...it always looked like a peeping tom photographer caught the parents in a private moment. Taking pot shots at the family themselves is just tacky...they're clearly happy and clearly a solid couple, so why make wisecracks about that?

I don't see any awkwardness with this picture. The hand on the booty doesn't bother me. It's not like he was cupping her buttock or anything. This is actually the first topless & pregnant photo I've seen that I think was done tastefully. To me they don't look too young (I'm 32 and people still mistake me of a teenager).
