It might just be a bad choice on the part of the photographer. He may actually be his parents’ favorite child. It worries me that his knees are so skinny though. Put some weight on that little guy!
I wish the person who sent it in would chime in and clear up the mystery! Was this just a case of a little boy who was being uncooperative so they let him sit where ever just for the sake of getting a family portrait? Or was it something else? Inquiring minds want to know!
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO SUBMITTED THIS BECAUSE THAT LITTLE BOY IS ME! I WILL GET YOU WHOEVER DID THIS!!! And to this day, me and my sister still have no idea why I’m in the corner… I was a quiet kid too…
I have DOZENS of family photos like this where my 2 year old is a blur. I have a feeling he just wasn’t in to it. But SO funny that they took it anyway!
Yet another Scrolldown Classic for those of us with small monitors and old computers, LOL! Good one. I think I’m keeping my itty bitty screen after all. Some of these photos wouldn’t be as entertaining without the delayed reveal.
And now, my favorite quote from Pumbaa:
“Aw look at him. He’s so Cute and ALL ALONE!”
It’s strangley out of scale. He almost looks like a little Asian garden gnome. The more I look at it the more I get kind of creeped out…BRRRRR. Like he’s not really there..but when they developed the picture….he was there!!
this was my favorite comment on my family photo.. really my family loves my brother actually he’s the golden child. thanks for making my day with your comment.. i am still laughing.
The lighting is almost perfect on the little guy, which almost leads me to believe he was added to the portrait later. Possibly had a meltdown while the first portrait was taken.
Embarrassing placement, though!
He doesn’t look traumatized at all. As a matter of fact, the little guy looks relieved. Why? That’s a little training toilet he’s perched on. When you’ve gotta go, YOU’VE GOTTA GO!
You should have seen his face in the shots before the photographer got a clue and helped him out.
I have a son about that age. My guess is he wanted to sit there and not in front of his sister, so rather than risk a temper tantrum, his parents just let him have his way.

And he was talking ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He’d say, “I’m gonna be like you, dad.
You know I’m gonna be like you.”
The world’s only Asian red-headed step child! Awesome!
So Dad didn’t want Junior on his lap with poopy pants…who could blame him?
ya’ll …he’s the servant boy….duhhhhh… that’s why he’s not “with” the family
haha this kid probably wasnt even related to these people…he just jumped in on the picture
this picture is very sad
“Sure, they can put me down now…but once I start my schooling at Hogwarts, I’m gonna change ALL of this!”
Bwahahaha! XD
Poor little boy was tired and wanted to see sit down. Since Dad didn’t want him on his lap-he found a little place to sit-away from the family!

I really don’t want to laugh at this picture but i have to right?

I agree. The plight of the poor little nipper is so compelling. We must have facts. We must have the back story.
The people NEED to know!
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO SUBMITTED THIS BECAUSE THAT LITTLE BOY IS ME! I WILL GET YOU WHOEVER DID THIS!!! And to this day, me and my sister still have no idea why I’m in the corner… I was a quiet kid too…
They took away his position within the family AND his pants? That is just too cruel!
lol

Really? Because in the movie The Ring, after the chick watches the video any pictures that she took of herself or had taken were all blurry..
I hope they photoshoped this photo or it was just the photogapher, he happened to have a bad taste with no skill. Lol…
Just SAD!!!
Poor lil’ boy. the caption is funny tho.

And now, my favorite quote from Pumbaa:

Can I keep him??
Poor lil pumpkin….:(
Not awkward. Heartbreaking! Poor little guy.
I think he was meant to be photoshoped out of the picture at a later stage…for what reason I don’t know as he is a very adorable little chap.
Now, you just sit there and THINK about what you did, Mister!
THIS!
It’s strangley out of scale. He almost looks like a little Asian garden gnome. The more I look at it the more I get kind of creeped out…BRRRRR. Like he’s not really there..but when they developed the picture….he was there!!
Yeah, like something out of The Grudge!
My thoughts exactly!
this was my favorite comment on my family photo.. really my family loves my brother actually he’s the golden child. thanks for making my day with your comment.. i am still laughing.
KUDOS to you for your sense of humor and NOT taking offense!
In the event that the paternity test comes back negative, John wanted to ensure the future possibility of a quick crop on the family portrait.
Wow: my family dynamic in a nutshell…
he’s like 2 or 3, right? he probably just wouldn’t cooperate & this was the best they could do. so cute and funny. his little prim outfit. poor kid.
The lighting is almost perfect on the little guy, which almost leads me to believe he was added to the portrait later. Possibly had a meltdown while the first portrait was taken.

I agree – but I think instead there’s been other siblings photoshopped out. You know, the kids they’re REALLY ashamed of.
No Photoshop – just an awkward photo. I only have the one brother.
That is so weird that the boy is off to the side.
He is so tiny, it seems they don’t feed him either.
Poor little guy….
hmm looks like red-headed step-child syndrome… ;o)

Nobody put’s baby in the corner! Little brother maybe, but not baby!
Haha, love it!
He doesn’t look too disturbed by the separation … bet he grew up to be very independent!
I love the caption!
Daddy scares me.
They always did like little Suzie better. Now he’s got the proof.
That’s just sad.
sister’s got that “nanny nanny boo boo, I’m in the family and you’re not” look on her face
I have a son about that age. My guess is he wanted to sit there and not in front of his sister, so rather than risk a temper tantrum, his parents just let him have his way.
Yup. Totally see that. OR they are recreating the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol” and junior is Tiny Tim… Just a thought.
Yep, totally agree – creating a tantrum-free zone.
Yep, totally agree – recreating Christmas Carol via Tiny Tim
This is actually sad… not really awkward. Poor baby.
notice the evil grin on the sister’s face, she knows she’s Daddy’s favorite.
Awww, the photog should’ve known better. The little fella should be standing in front of his sister.
“But I don wanna sit on Dad’s lap” squirm, squirm, squirm. “Oh, just take the picture with him over there!”
They didn’t want him blocking the view of his sister’s funky stockings. Go girl!
ostracized since birth!
Ostracized from the photo. At least he got a stool.
Well, it’s not an ACTUAL stool. It’s just a stool “sample”.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Oh no you din’t!!!! That was perfect.
boooo! lol
Sweet cracker sandwich! That was perfect-o!
is this kid the black sheep or what?
Look at those little knees! I just want to pick him up and hug him!
So why does he have to sit off to the side?
toot
Just a formal portrait of his “time-out.” How many kids can say they have THAT? Disneyworld…Grand Canyon….well, let me show you my time-out portrait!
as a mother to two kids (about the ages in the portrait).. let me just say this comment cracked me up!!!!!
Mother of three here–that was hilarious!
I have no children and that was absolutely hilarical! What a great laugh!
lol!!
time out portrait!
thanks for making me laugh because this photo was so sad to me!
That’s hysterical!
hilarious
Why the hard chair? Why not a big soft cushy chair where junior can sit on Dad’s lap?
Definately a patriarchal culture thingy, too.
P.S. I kind of like the daughter’s tights. She and the mom look really sweet.
Oh, that little guy makes me sad.
I know right! It’s almost like Dad’s showing off his most favorite and then said, “Do whatever you want with the boy…”
Me too, this photo makes me really depressed!!!
Yes, very sad. And strange.
“He looks nothing like me.”
