Haaahaaa. We are the parents, and we approve this photo…
whoa. actually 1st this time. win.
Now that’s a strange picture…..
Dad always told us to play the field.
‘Play in the field, IN the field’ I said
I count four kids.
maybe they are the parents of all four….
Now that is awkward! Eeewww!
That would make it incestuous. Even more awkward.
I’m guessing 2 of those 4 represent spouses/mates.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, that’s exactly what I thought.
Or, proud parents of four healthy kids.
Due to the tight economy, the Smith family decided to combine the 30th anniversary portrait with the two engagement portraits.
I can hardly wait to see how they economize on the wedding(s).
…or the honeymoons…
OMG, That was hysterical Julie K, what a great morning laugh
I can’t kiss in the same state as my parents. I’m 30.
Creating the next generation…while u wait.
It’ll take 30 seconds!
Why don’t mom and dad get to make out too?
What’s awkward about this?
Photographer – “Ok, now everybody kiss!”
Dad under his breath to Mom – “I got dressed in matchy match and hiked out in this field, but I’m not doing that!”
Mom under his breath to Dad – “Could you at least smile for the Christmas card photo?”
Dad talking through a forced smile – “How much am I paying for this?”
Bwaahahahaha. I can hear that exchange in my head.
Mom under his breath? Now that’s awkward
HAHA my thoughts exactly
Oh I laughed so hard when I read this!!
This entire exchange had me laughing out loud! You guys are funny! And clever.
This photo reminds me of the classic awkward photo of the lovely couple with the amorous donkeys in the background.
Yes, exactly! I knew this pic was triggering something that was scratching around at the bac of my brain, but I couldn’t quite place it.
HAH thats immediately what i though of too!
That’s exactly what I thought!
oh man, I totally needed that.. what a laugh
The proud parents are going to be grandparents pretty soon.
It’s the Field of Youth. The farther in you go, the younger and more frisky you become.
That’s right, as evidenced by the location of the hands. You’ll notice the middle couple are clasping arms. The couple furthest in to the field has the whole butt/chest touching going on. Thank God they didn’t have a third child.
If you look closely you can see that the second couple is expecting a child. That could explain the arm grasping. And the third couple really is not doing anything that inappropriate.
“Stand perfectly still, honey. If we don’t move, the zombie face suckers won’t come after us!”
Best comment EVER!
I’m totally diggin’ dad’s shirt
Actually, you know this is kind of touching…
Truly outstanding in their field.
Am I missing something? Is there an “eye underneath a couch sitter” that I’m not seeing? This photo really lacks a cymbol clash. It’s a nice picture.
False.
About as classy as you can make trashy.
I have to say however that the woman on the far right looks a lot like Sara Palin.
Nice moire, dad!
I believe that they are in a field of wild oats.
Good one, Stan! That comment gave me a good giggle!
WIN!
This version of “Brother’s and Sisters” was far more popular than the ABC television series ever was…in Alabama!
Good one Jeff…………LOLOLOL
there’s no way i could do that around my parents. or my boyfriend’s parents… that’s even more awkward.
We want everyone to know that our kids are sexually active and not discreet about it either!
Maybe it’s supposed to show the progression throughout their relationship…like when they first started dating, then got married and were pregnant, and then now? That’s just a guess that would make this photo seem less bizarre.
Right, and this field is where it all happened for them. Makes some kind of crazy sense, but it’s still bizarre. Who’s playing them? Actors, or their kids? No that’s just even more bizarre when you think about it! sigh.
They hired strangers. This must be performance art captured on film.
Kissing around the parents? ew.
Maybe the photographer took so long planning out the spacing between the couples that the younger generation decided to make use of the available time.
Got to admit, I wouldn’t go for a full-on snog with my partner in the same room (or field) as my parents. In our household, it would be more usual for my parents to be doing that!
How heteronormative.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Cameras do wacky things with some designs, particularly houndstooth and checks. We once had a local newscaster who would wear the same gawd-awful houndstooth jacket at least once a week. Finally, after thousands of phone calls, someone finally took action. I guess they finally looked at footage of their own newscast. The pattern on her jacket was small houndstooth and it was extremely distracting due to the moving patterns it produced on camera.
“Mom, Dad…watch me. Look what I can do!”
It says “submitted by Jenny”. Where’s Jenny? Helloo? I really need help with this one.
and this is where your father was born and your brother was born and your sister was born….and oh here comes another one now!
This is taking the whole “when are you gonna make us grandparents?” angle to a strange new level…
i love it…the parents are a little old fashioned, but the new couples behind them are still in the honeymooners stage…it even looks like there might be a new addition to this family in the near future…how adorable…GOD bless, dia
Looks to me like dad has a very short arm and is stroking mums neck. So there is a bit of physical contact in the first couple after all.
What you can’t see is the third son and his girlfriend, that grass is pretty tall…
now that is awkward and weird
All the dad needs to complete his look is a can of Milwaukee’s Best.
