Spreading the Awkwardness
The mom is gorgeous.
I couldn’t agree more.
I can’t believe that no one has mentioned yet how the boy in this picture looks like he could be Miley Cyrus’s twin brother. Anyone?
Laughing so hard I’m crying. I can not stop laughing. Showed it to my husband and in all seriousness he asked ” What is she doing, eating a hotdog?” That makes me laugh even harder. He just doesn’t get it.
oh my! that eating a hotdog part made me laugh!
That is the perfect Christmas card photo! Blackmail sis for years!
This is such an awkward mother/son pose! Ug!
What’s so awkward about the mother/son pose, except that most 13 year olds don’t want to be hugged by mom in public.
This is kinda like that squirrel photo… but not.
It’s clear she’s been photoshopped in.
how is it clear, because nobody understands the concept of Deth Of Field while using a telephoto lens and a low Fstop? Seriously…of all the ones that could be faked…why would I chose this one? You guys are silly.
*Depth of Field
whew, the “deth” of fields scared me cuz I’m from Georgia and we’s not so good at spelling…I thought this was one of them Saw movie set ups
I am not so sure…perhaps she sat on a crossbow?
HA!
i would like to think that the photographer had the shot on the boy and his mom but then shifted the camera to get the girl in the backround
Nope…Rule of Thirds
I swear I’m starting to think people are faking these shots… I just laugh too much checking this site out…
Seriously…I took it..its real. As stated above: Yes he sat on her lap to be cute…and yes…bees chased her into frame…and yes…she is a hot mom!
Who says his sister is a complete spazz?!
well played
dont make fun…she is obviously having a seizure
I think the Sears Portrait studio is testing out new backdrops. I’m not sure that one will make the cut.
hehe, that one made my day! I’ll definitely use it as a backdrop, once I get my Winnie the Pooh costume ready to go.
all these posts and no one has realized that this is obviously photoshopped? Amazing!
see above
uh hello photoshop….not even a great photoshop job…sheesh.
You sir fail, lol. This was 100% accidental and not shopped in the least.
I took it and….hello….no photoshop. really happened. Yes he sat on her lap to be cute…and yes…bees chased her into frame…and yes…she is a hot mom!
“bees chased her into frame” … but how odd that the frame so perfectly includes her. Unless there was more background to the left in the original shot, which got cropped.
Poor girl LOL!
Hey I was composing the shot to have a little extra back ground to the right…shes a tiny girl and easily fits into the remainder of the frame
So she said “no way” and I said like “oh yeah” and she said like “get outta here” and I said…
I think she is vomiting
Sister also looks like she’s doing that dance made famous by the Peanuts gang.
Girl in the back is trying out for the new “Thriller” video….
I’m thinking it looks more like Mom is sitting down even though her son is too big to sit on her lap, and the adopted sister is off her meds.
If that’s his Mom all I can say is….that’s one hot Mom!
Who says that you have to be in a band to have back up dancers?
Now, they’re not in very high demand, hence the horrible dancing moves.
i like the zombie theory…i personally think she’s gettin’ down…
OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!
BEE!!
LO FRIGGIN L!!!!!! Oh, I feel for the sister in the background. Her face and posture is priceless!
Looks like she’s practicing “Thriller”
I think she’s just popped a HUGE zit.
I hate reading the comments on here. I vow never to again.
Buh bye.
The comments are the BEST part of this site!!!
Looks to me like she’s dancing “The Elaine”
Yes! Elaine Bennis!
WIN!
It’s spelled “Benes” and her dancing is referred to as “The Little Kicks”
Or as George likes to call it, a full body dry heave set to music.
It’s like a dry heave set to music.
She looks like your everyday average BlueTooth user. (Crazy.)
The girl in the back looks like she’s doing the latest dance move.
Either fleeing a bee attack, or rockin’ out to Foghat. (See the imaginary microphone? Dead giveaway.)
I think she is tapping into her inner diva and is serenading the ‘lovebirds’
“MOM! THEY’RE DOING IT AGAIN!!”
kinda looks like she is singing into her imaginary mic and dancing to the song in her head.
Is he sitting on her lap?
thats just a really weird pose for a kid and his mom, especially considering the age of the boy!
I actually thought she was busting a move back there.
Listen, wouldn’t you be jealous if your mom was holding up your legless brother for the thirty-second “warm and fuzzy” news story? That kid gets all the attention and sister has the right to be a bit pissed.
I think this is Jodie Foster in the sequel to “Nell”
Chickapeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
OMG I’m crying!!!
tayyyyy in the windddddd
HAHAHA!! That was awesome. Brilliant!
I like his hair. Sort of like Emperor Nero. Or did his mother INSIST he take the baseball cap off?
I agree – he has hat hair. and it’s been gel’d into place prior to that.
Photobomber WIN!
This is definitely a mom & son. The chick in the background looks like she’s doing kareoke.
Woah, another person out there who recognizes a Neronian coiffure when he/she sees one? That’s almost scarier than the mom / son relationship in this photo!
Wait, I seem to have replied to the wrong comment; this should be under Chris’. Sorry!
LM*O looks like a classice dance move from the 60′s “do the Bee” you go girl..
She (girl in back) has just got to one of the many wonderful key changes of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and ran out into the street in rapture. Those two got off light, the Granny who was standing by her door when she got to ” turn around bright eyes…” had to get a new hip!
That has got to be the best comment ever made (yes, I said ever) on this site…
Army of Dorkness is the best screen name ever!
Love it!
Nigel FTW!
What the crazy???
Is she fake-singing… or having a seizure?
I’m gonna go with previous posters on this one. Sadly this is the last known photo of these two. Zombie attack.
Both.
“having a seizure” is where I was going with this too!
You can almost see that imaginary knife
Agreed.
“Sliver II: Revenge of a Jealous Lover”
Or the imaginary super-soaker.
Are we sure this isn’t a mom and her son who’s a lot taller than she is? He looks 12, and she looks much older.. and the girl in the background looks like she accidentally busted into the shot because of the bee and is of no relation to the two in the picture….
I agree, this must be a mom and son. Maybe that’s sis in the backround, after her bro put itching powder down her shirt….sibling rivalry is so darling.
I think the boy is sitting on his mom’s lap/knee. No idea why the girl in the background has her mouth open. Trying to catch bees?
Okay….
All the nerds over to the left.
All the people who actually got the joke over to the right.
Thank you Jeff, for being the voice of hundreds.
Yes, it’s assumed to be mom and son or boy, but that’s the point of the caption. Sis wasn’t supposed to be in the photo . . . she’s the one in the weird spasm-pose in the background.
What is she even doing? Talking on the cell? Anyone know?
The caption assumes a bee is involved. I prefer the zombie theory.
Noooo — It’s Zombie Bees
Zombees!
(groan) good one!!
My first thought : The girl in the background is doing the zombie dance from the Thriller video!
She’s busting a move. Dance it baby!
I’m glad they started shooting the new Dawn of the Dead movie….
Too awesome!!!
Is that his mom?
