I’m a photographer and it looks legit, not Photoshopped. It’s taped to a refrigerator, not a wall. I see no evidence of cloning, only a fugly background drape.
But as a graphic designer, even without examining this photo at a higher resolution, I’m pretty sure that angry girl was always a part of this photo, but not granny, especially not granny’s head. The background behind granny is all haphazardly cloned out, and then the blending of her hair and the background is not done all that well. When I look at it again, it appears the right side of her black jacket is also poorly blended… it’s kind of blurry. Also, angry girl’s hair is too blurred on the left by her shoulder.
Seems like grandparents of “our” (“our” being those of us who identify with this) generation always had a bowl of hard candies-in a candy dish- on a coffee table, or something, And, we were offered a hard candy… as a treat… as if it were a treat. And, as kids, who eat at McDonalds, and have any variety of more impressive candies available all the time, a hard candy was sort of a “so what” kind of thing. It IS the perfect caption! But to explain why I laugh uncontrollably … would kill it and take too long.
TJ, I got the reference already (but thank you for explaining it to TLLCS), but I am curious for your explanation as to why you laugh uncontrollably. Do you have a special story related to grandparents giving you hard candy? I am curious now.
It absolutely has been tampered with. Look at Grandma’s hair on the right. Part of it is even slightly cut off. However, they are both funny separately…even funnier together.
Abby: I don’t see any problems with the older woman’s hair. Could you be more specific in describing how and where it is “cut off” or otherwise problematic? I think that’s just how her hair looks naturally (some people have hair like that).
It could be Photoshopped, but I feel like it isn’t (and I’m hoping it isn’t, too).
There’s something to be said for side by sides like this: I’ve heard this is generally was done in Victorian photography to show not only family relations BUT psychic and “how close we are in personality” . It’s fair game to say this old lady is NOT her mother- could be granny or an aunt, I really love this one , too, it’s classic~~~~ a style you don’t see much at all.
HA!!! This looks like a little Covert-Op to me. I’ll bet whoever submitted this pic has been looking at this for years, thinking about how truely awkward it is. Upon finding this website they immediately snuck into grandmas house and snapped a quick pic of this little gem, imortalizing it forever in awkward history.
From wherever you look, their eyes are following you. I’ve read somewhere that this happens in paintings when people are portraited looking directly at the observer. But I’m not entirely convinced that this is the case.

“Well isn’t that special” Now time to do the church lady dance!
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THIS CAPTION I CAN HARDLY TYPE!

When Lipitor met Lithium.
“smile dammit, or your out of the will”
Because of the economy, meet the two new leads for the sequel of the Heartbreakers.
I love this photo (AND the caption).

I still love it though. Angry girl is priceless.
Somebody just found out they were cut out of grandma’s will.
Okay! Same expression as grandma… and… hold it…
She looks like Kate from John and Kate plus 8!
I… I think I went to HS with this girl… Maybe not but she looks really familiar early 90′s familiar…
like take the damn picture already……… we both have to use the little girls room
You used my fancy soaps, didn’t you. Didn’t you.
Bwahahahaha
HAAAAHAAAA!!!!!
Just shows you what happens to attitude in about fifty years
Thug life.
The caption, coupled with the photo…I laughed so hard my husband thought I was having a nervous breakdown..lol!
Thats not her grandaughter anyway.. clearly a compound bow
I can’t stop howling. I agree… BEST. CAPTION. EVER!!!!!!
Photo taken right after Grandma told Lisa she lost her college fund at BINGO!
I dont get the hard candy comment…anyone?

My Gramma not only gave us hard candy, but it was that red anise candy. Hated it!!!
i can feel the love!
This websiet needs a thumbs-up feature or something. There are so many funny comments here that I want to thumbs up.
Heh, I agree. Then again, almost all of the pictures would be getting thumbs-up from me.
This is somewhat reminiscent of a “Wanted” poster. What crime could these two have committed?
Wow! The looks on their faces made me put my compound bow away.
Grandma was overheard telling Rachel, ” I don’t car how many times we take this damned picture! You’re not getting a PENNY when I’m gone!”
HA, Rachel was the name that popped into my head too!
Is that hard a** Kate Gosselin?
“honey, let’s take a picture together before you leave for reform school. then you can hang it on your wall and always think of happier times.”
awkward…and sad
Did someone just photo shop the granddaughter in an old picture of grandma??
I think you are right ‘case’ that is definitely photoshopped, unless the granddaughter just happens to have an exceptionally glossy personality.
looks like it to me too
Too many individual hairs to have been photoshopped. Nobody can copy and past that many individual strands of hair that well
It absolutely has been tampered with. Look at Grandma’s hair on the right. Part of it is even slightly cut off. However, they are both funny separately…even funnier together.

Hard candy? Someone apparently didn’t want a hairbrush, either.
YES!
And P.S. the hard candy caption is awesome. Werthers originals!
Nasty attitude chick.
The younger one, although very upset looking, is actually pretty cute.
Who’s the younger girl with Barbara Bush?
all granny ever wanted was a picture of her only great great great grand child.
and this is what she gets. poor granny.
If looks could kill, Granny would be dead.
Oh and grandma is related to The Rock.
Can you smell what The Grandma is cookin’?????
Grandma? I thought that was triple H and Stephanie!
That caption deserves an award!
BAs
“Gramma and me is outlaws….” hmmmm?
There’s something to be said for side by sides like this: I’ve heard this is generally was done in Victorian photography to show not only family relations BUT psychic and “how close we are in personality” .

Anyone notice that this is a picture of a picture that’s been taped to the wall? It gets more awkward the longer you stare at it.
oh yeah, I thought that was a frame lol
HA!!! This looks like a little Covert-Op to me. I’ll bet whoever submitted this pic has been looking at this for years, thinking about how truely awkward it is. Upon finding this website they immediately snuck into grandmas house and snapped a quick pic of this little gem, imortalizing it forever in awkward history.
It actually looks like its just taped to the wall. The corners are worn and bent and the left side is slanted inward like it was cut very poorly.
LOL @ the caption!!!!
I love this site. Please, never change.
Why can’t anyone smile? Maybe they don’t get along.
…that’s the problem; they ARE smiling!
I love you Pumpkin…
I love you too Grandma
Yeah, and somebody clearly won’t get hard candy even if she wants it!
From wherever you look, their eyes are following you. I’ve read somewhere that this happens in paintings when people are portraited looking directly at the observer. But I’m not entirely convinced that this is the case.
Neither of them aren’t happy campers, lol!
So they’re both happy campers?
lmao.. 2 negatives cancel eachother out.
I swear the comments are what makes me read the 200 plus posts at times!
Oh lol
Well, someone definitly is Not happy to be having her picture taken !
Hey Becca is that you? Don’t post the sunshine house picture!
Why is grandma raising an eyebrow???
fantastic! i didn’t catch that the first time… needed a second look… and boy was it worth it!
Grandma knows Stacy’s just waiting for the inheritance, and Grandma doesn’t plan to leave anytime soon….
Best caption EVER!
Agreed, the caption is perfection!!
Yeah, the photos are great but the captions on this site are half of the fun.
Wahahaha!!!
