Looks like the dreaded “I’M BORED” stage……sorry mom and dad, it will pass eventually!
This is Marney in childhood, they just would never use the regulation casserole dish at gatherings…
awww, you so funneeeeee, made me titter
I gotta say this is my favorite of all time. A true classic!
that is what i did in the group photo from school camp this year…
alternate caption: “She’s not with us.”
OMG! That’s the same look and pose I had at my sister’s graduation picture too!
Instead of the caption reading “I’m not with them”, it should read “We’re not with her”.
Alright everyone gather up for the family picture. No wait, not you sweetie…Ya you stand over there…Just right over…ya perfect.
She lost her compound bow…AND her parrot.
Looks like teen spirit.
I wonder what the occasion was that this family just *had* to take a photo at this moment. Couldn’t it have waited a few hours until the sibling bickering had cooled off?
And this photo proves that awkwardness need not come in dated duds.
That’s a funny question — reminds me of how my mother always picked the most inopportune moment to want to take a picture– when the baby was cranky and ready for a nap or at the end of the party when we were all exhausted. We tried to talk her out of it, but of course we had to go along– and we all end up looking like the girl in this pic.
I’m not going to smile and you can’t make me!
It just looks that way because “Harvey” is taking up so much space between her and the family…
HAHAHAHA, a Harvey reference that is perfect. Pooka’s need a lot of space in photos, little known fact.
Let me guess. 13?
Oooh! That’s that super-tweenie pissed look that may deserve a foot stomp and crossed arms.
they are all rude for shunning her, but the blond in the blue shirt seems to deliberately pulling her body away from all physical contact with her
wait..which ones are the parents??!!
Cinderella 2009
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry on that one! LOL, BOOHOOHOO, LOL, BOOHOOHOO
Now THAT’S funny!
Not really a funny remark. Kind of insensitive. One of my daughters is adopted-she may not look like us, but is very much loved and a member of our family.
it’s only insensitive if I wasn’t adopted…..
It’s not insensitive, it’s crass. My nephew is adopted, and the extra reply underneath Joanne’s remark only makes it more crass.
Lame. (Being adopted doesn’t mean you can slur the concept.)
funny pic, but seriously, the blonde with the blue shirt is a hot tomale!
yowser!
Look at who’s frowning. Obviously she and her brother had a fight right before this picture was taken and the rest of the family is trying to ignore the situation and go on with the family photo as planned. But she’s not standing by HIM, nosirree!
I agree – look at the very slight way that he’s leaning away from his sister. It hink they had a big blowout right before the photo!
Shun. Shun the poor girl. Or she’s annoyed that no-one will acknowledge her special friend and it hurts her feelings.
Oh, that makes me sad for her.
Brother isn’t all that pleased with the situation either.
And the more I look at it, it’s forced smiles all round.
Did you notice the smiles fade from right to left?
So this is the red-headed stepchild I’ve heard so much about.
Awesome comment. LOL at this one! Poor kid. I think most of us have gone through periods of our adolescence looking and feeling like that.
that was my fav comment. Gives me ginger vitus
“They’re all gonna laugh at you!”
Oh man, you’re terrible!
I think she’s adorable. And this photo is hilarious in its own way.
This is sad. This is just not right. Beyond awkward, just sad.
No, just a typical teenager. We have a lot of pics of my nieces with crabby expressions!
you took me away from the tv for this????
Taken just before their dead Jedi uncle materialized in the open space.
Which one of these doesn’t belong? Not real hard to figure out which siblings Mom and Dad love the most.
The imaginary “good” daughter is filling that space.
That is perfect- thanks for the laugh!
Hahaha. Good one!
There were lots of times in my life when I felt like this in my family…I feel for her!
Me too!! I have many pictures of me frowning next to all my super happy family.
I know how she feels.
She looks like she’s with the pissed-off guy in the back…
She’s just upset with Aunt Marney.
She had the regulation size casserole with the food at the correct temperature, but she forgot her serving spoon and used a foil lid! Chaos followed!
She’s just from the Amy Misto Family–she never even read the letter……. (Why did Marney even bother??)
Too funny!!!
