I think the bigger questions that beg to be answered are…
1) What’s #10 doing outside without a coat on in -2 degree weather?
2) What’s goin’ on down around #10’s left ankle?
Dad: “I can’t believe all of that came from one dog.”
Boy: “Got any newspapers to wrap a big number two?”
Girl: “Thank God Mom put me in this kiddie hazmat suit!”
That’s what I thought! Was there a fifth creature slated to be in the photo who darted away at the last instant? Or was it just an unconscionably poor use of space?
No, you see, the armrest pose was handed down for generations, and so everyone is now just predisposed to stand that way. Their heads perenantly squashed down a tad. Due to use as an armrest.
Pierre dreaded the fact that he was known simply as the “son of Leftie” throughout the village. With the onset of winter he tragically forgot his coat for the family picture. History would soon repeat itself.
Well, the treatment of the younger child, explains a lot about the father and son’s stopped postures. I guess using the youngest child for an arm rest is a family tradition that is passed on by the males in the family.
Moi, le chien dans le genre berger (allemand, belge, flamand peut être?) je le trouve pas mal.

One of the things I adore about this one is the thoughtless framing. The dog’s almost gotten bumped out of view, but boy we got a great look at that snowy tree trunk on the other side. That rings true for an awful lot of family portraiture out there.
Presumably the spouse is one of those people who just can’t take the time to think out where the edges of the shot are, so all the pictures in the family album look like this. They all have a huge swatch of ceiling, or a whole side of the photo taken up by a half-open door.
Is the picture off center because they were trying to get the tree trunk in? Plus, someone needs to put a hat on Ralphie and he needs to be careful of the Bupkiss dog!
LOl!! My big sister used to do that tto me all the time,when i was 10(she was 18) she actually told me to stop growing because i was quite tall for my age(not a huge great gangly freak,i just had long legs) and it was getting more uncomforatble for her to do it!!!
LOL!!!…. Good times,good times….
Oh and why do the ages 10-13 always have tro be the worst 4 u when theyre sposed to be the best??? (I mean excluding ‘growing up’ .There were other things!!)

Wouldn’t that be an ARMREST???? ummm it’s awkward correcting the site owners….
Good call there, Rose!
reminds me of the little brother in “A Christmas Story” … poor thing!
lol!
Randy: “I can’t put my arms down!”
Mom: “Put your arms down when you get to school.”
lol
I had exactly the same thought, LMAO!
I cant put my aaarrrms down!!
Wouldn’t it be more of an armrest?
The 5 year old Iron Man then proceeded to blast the boy’s arm off with his repulsor beam.

Interesting how the two are all bundled up and that kid is only wearing thin sweats.
la pauvre
i love the picture though, and the dad
The dad kinda looks like Wes Anderson.
What the heck are they looking at?
He should not be abusing the lawn jockey like that.
lol!
..you can actually dress those lawn gnomes now, huh?
haha that made me laugh
The most awkward part of this for me is the enormous amount of white space taking up like 40% of the photo. I guess mom can’t compose.
That’s why they’re ducking their heads, so they don’t get cut off.

Scientists are still trying to determine if the head-tilt is nature or nurture.

is… is that the grandma??

Good call!!
They watch in shock and dad is relatively calm considering his left hand was ground in the wood chipper on the Fargo movie set.
Dad: And that, kids, is how you write your name in the snow with your pee.
Son: Cooool.
Dog (to himself): Whatev’…I pee in the yard all the time. Hey look, a squirrel~
LOLOL
Today’s winner: laurie
EXACTLY!
Ha ha ha ha!
This actually is a long running family tradition. How else would ‘no neck’ run through the family so strongly…
Judging by the placement of their heads they’ve all been victims of this in the past!
but it certainly is the DOG making this picture unforgettable. could this be a new category?
This is truly classic awkwardness here!
More strange, tho, was the sudden disappearance of mom and the grandma on the right of the pic at the moment the pic was taken…

My thoughts exactly.
thanks ninbus for your support.
Why does this photo center on the guy on the end? Why is the horizon line cockeyed? Is the photographer passing out?
Hahahahaha Even the dog looks awkward
A person’s posture says a lot about them; I’m glad Dad is raising his son to have such high self-esteem!

anyone find out what they are looking at?

Dad looks like he’s propped up with a stick.
is the boy wearing pyjamas … in the snow? it’s like the shining…
I really just think this picture is cool looking!
I think we know how the older 2 got such poor posture.
I dunno, the short sleeves are a little awkward.
LOL my brother does that to me!
