It’s a time in our lives when we’re just grateful for the people around us.

Spreading the Awkwardness
They do eventually grow out of it. My 28 year old step daughter was going through some old photo albums and ran across pix of herself at age 14 or so in Hawaii (a treat from her doting great aunt) with her dyed black hair –complete with one hank right in front of her face, black eyeliner, black tights, black dresses, and black Doc Martins, along with a sour/bored/angry/pouty/teenage look on her face in each one. She looked at the pix and then asked, “What was wrong with me? What was I thinking? Who wears BLACK TIGHTS in Hawaii???!!!” Our response: “You tell us. We had to look at that mug every day.” Then she apologized. Vindication!!!!
Woo Alexisonfire!
Is that masking tape?
I think the dad is happy that it’s only one more year till he’s free of that kid.
Win!
Maybe he’s 18 and he’s mad because they reused last year’s casserole!
That band on his shirt is actually really good, way to represent youngin!
ah to be 17 again….
I think it’s some kind of dessert too, looks like cream on top with cinnamon or choc, maybe a tiramisu? Either way dessert ot main he’s not impressed!
OK, I think we’ve figured it out – it’s Marni’s son and he is TICKED OFF about the non-regulation size dish. I love teenagers! Last week mine practically bit my head off for singing along with the radio….then I mentioned his acne and he didn’t speak to me for 3 days.
…and THAT’S how you do it! My daughter is 11, I’m taking notes.
I think its a cobbler or something, looks like cinnamon on top, probably one of his fav’s. Looks homemade and who doesn’t love homemade. Yeah, blame the hormones!
I remember that age… eww.
What was in the wrapping?
What‘s the DVD? Perhaps therein lies a secret…as for the t-shirt: Alexisonfire describe their music as “the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight” (a reference to their song “A Dagger Through the Heart of St. Angeles”)
Happy birthday Kiddo.
The DVD is Ross Noble, a British comedian. This kid most not see the humor in it.
He’s mad because dad bought him a VHS tape, dad’s definitely Old Skool.
Someone’s wish did NOT come true! That’s one attitude on that kid…I think the shirts say it all! :-/
Common’ guys, don’t you know TIRAMISU when you see it! Geeze, yous didn’t grow up in the old neighborhood did ya?
He did NOT get what he wanted for his birthday!
At 17 every present ‘sucks’. Maybe Power Rangers pajamas would have been better.
Hmmm..for some reason that doesn’t look like cake or lasanga..My guess is pie and they used some template to leave the 17 on there when they spinkled cinammon on top..I prefer birthday pie over cake anyways since I think frosting is icky
I thought it was the traditional birthday rice pudding?
That kind of wrapping paper can cause seizures!!!
I’d say it’s tiramisu, yummy!
I thought the same.
A deflated mylar balloon on the right, a Ross Noble DVD on the left, and your age written in pie crust? What’s not to smile about? This kid looks like my kid brother at the same age!
Apparently the birthday boy isn’t much of a Ross Noble fan.
The cake looks like tiramisu and someone put down paper numbers, sprinkled with cocoa, then peeled the paper off. Well, that’s what I would do anyway.
My thoughts exactly. What kind of freaky lasagna have all these people been eating anyway?
Birthday lasagna? I’m totally stealing that idea! Even if he doesn’t like it!
Oh, teen angst. Isnt it grand?
Just out of curiosity, is that a regulation size dish?
Of course it’s regulation size! You know how Mike is…
Classic Teenage Moment. “thanks mom and dad, now get out of my life’.
This could very well go down as the most incredible depiction of EMO ever.
Ahhhh, teenagers! They are so ungrateful, even when be celebrated with tradition birthday tiramisu (at least thats what it looks like).
That’s what I thought, too. Definitely Tiramisu!
This just says it all… like thanks Dad, for EVERYTHING.
I can almost guarantee this kid will APOLOGIZE to his father for this…right about the time his own kids turn into teenagers…
There’s somegthing completely perfect about this photo… in the future, the kid will be more embarrassed by this than any other, even the one of him on his little potty chair… gotta love Karma.
“You are 16 going on 17
Baby its time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby you’re on the brink
“You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And grueways and cads
Will offer you fruit and wine”
” … will offer you energy drinks …”
Is that a birthday lasagna?
I’m leaning towards birthday rice pudding.
Rice pudding was my first thought as well!
I was thinking Tiramisu.
But if it was tiramisu, there’d be no way he would be unhappy.
Happy Casserole Day!
“Cake is lame.”
Is that cake or lasagne?
Ahhhhhh….teenagers. Their smiles just brighten the dreariest day!!!
17 is such a lovely age! lol
I love the Old Skool shirt! Dad definitely looks Old Skool. Also, are those pasta strips on top of the “cake”? Or is it a birthday lasagna?
After having stared at the picture for entirely too long, I think it is a cake and not lasagna. Looks like Mom covered up the shape of the 17 with strips of paper or something, and then sprinkled cocoa powder over the rest of the cake. Perhaps the kid is simply upset that she used this low-tech cake decoration method and didn’t spring for those sweet number candles most people use.
I’m with you, teo, that is not a lasagne. It’s some kind of cake thing. But it certainly looks as though the kid is not appreciating it!
I am so happy to hear you say that. I was thinking, “If that’s a lasagna, no wonder that kid’s p.o.’ed. That sauce is way too brown!” Your theory makes much more sense. Now we can assume the frown is just because the world is just SO hard when you’re seventeen.
The shirt is the “icing on the cake”. Or “cheese on the pasta”!
Yes, I think it’s a cake…a very strange cake. But gotta admit, it’s funnier if it’s a lasagna…
Yep, I was just about to comment, that shirt is great.
That casserole dish doesn’t look like it’s regulation size.
Awesome!
HeeHee
Whooooooo!!!
That made me bwahaaa gaffaw and truly LOL. I’d forgotten about the Thanksgiving Nazi… thank you! that made my day!
snorted coffee out my nose!
That was awesome! It just snuck up on me and pounced. Kinda like the compound bow that you can see reflected in the window.
Excellent!
that would be because it’s a lasagna dish
Marney would be appalled!
mwahahahahsnortsnuffle
{I hate it when I snort/laff in front of the pugs…they roll their eyes at me}
Not kidding I was at a party over Memorial Day and was introduced to a lady named Marney and I nearly lost it for a few seconds
That name [shaking head] will create havoc from now on ……..
Old Skool vs. Old Skull
what an adorable child………………….
Looks like someone was eating the uncooked cake batter and got a tummy ache…or he’s a teenager…one or the other.
Awww, now who wouldn’t like a birthday lasagna?
Sorry Dad, I’m filled with so much teen angst that I won’t have room for the lasagna.
Damn. Sad but true.
Fine, you lousy ingrate, that means all the more for me! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
Ah, to be a teenager again, mad at the world, ungratfeul and everything sucks!
Aw, that poor father. Can’t we just have a good time together son!!???!!!
Ha…
That kid doesn’t look happy to be 17.
xD
Although he specifically asked for a chocolate cake, Eric was yet again disappointed by the annual “Happy Birthday Lasagna”.
I guess 17 isn’t as sweet as 16
Nothing says “Happy Birthday” quite like lasagna.
Well, true! lol
I don’t know what he’s so upset about. His dad is obviously kickin it Old Skool with that hip Birthday Lasagna….
What is that? A cobbler?
