    Maybe she has a Watermelon farm and before entering there is a HUGE cutout sign of this picture posted up on the side of a hill with a caption “Trespassers will be shot.”

  2. Monica says:

    This is my watermelon, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun.

  3. Ed says:

    You can have my melons when you pry them from my dead, cold … uh, … what was I talking about?

  4. Amy says:

    Her mistake that she’s left her son in the car and brought the watermelon in for the family photo won’t be fully noticed by her until she heads home to tuck the baby in for a nap and carve up the melon.

  5. CG13 says:

    Um. Why?

  9. Susan E says:

    What must the photographer at Olan Mills have thought? Okay, lady, calm down. There’s no sitting fee for the melon.

  10. Hannah says:

    I’m thinking since this is a fourth of july picture it’s about bearing fruit and bearing arms. I don’t know how they’re related, but that’s my guess. I’m absolutely flabbergasted by this picture.

    I never thought of using a gun to open up the watermelons at our family picnics, I always used a kitchen knife, go figure!!

  29. S says:

    I know what you’re thinkin’ punk. Did she fire 6 times or only 5 ? And to tell’ya the truth, I’ve forgotten myself in all the excitement. …..You gotta ask yourself one question. Do ya feel lucky ? Well do ya punk ?

  30. Roger says:

    This isn’t a “family photo”, it’s from a poster opposing gun control, and someone has trimmed off the caption. The posters were all claiming that advising people to just flee from violence is ignorant and insensitive because many people cannot, yet have just as much a right to life. The first one in the series was a guy in a wheelchair. There was also a mom with three little kids clinging to here, and a couple of old folks talking about their heart conditions.

    This one, obviously, is of a pregnant women and observes that running whilst pregnant is like running while carrying a watermelon; she’d be much safer with the pistol.

  31. Cowski says:

    “A reminder of the freedoms we fought so hard for.”…and they all carried watermelons.

  32. jasmin says:

  33. John says:

    Apparently watermelon wrangling is far more dangerous than I’d been led to believe.

  34. Raye says:
