Behind The Awkwardness: Some QT
August 19th, 2010
“My dad had promised to take me to a really sweet park if I went on errands with him and last minute he thought I’d rather see the the Mississippi dam instead.”
(submitted by Olivia)
Her face says it all
Very sweet looking girl. Where on the Mississippi were you? I see others here assume you mean the state for some reason. I’m sure you’re referring to the river.
This reminds me of the time I was seven and my mum took me out of school early to go se the circus. Except she told me I was going to the eye doctor (probably so I wouldn’t blurt it out infront of the teacher). When I found out we weren’t going to the eyedoctor, I sulked the whole time!! Aspergers anyone?
Is that the special award for your hard work?
hehehe
Seriously though, this picture is uncomfortable without said story.
i love the 100% denim in this picture.
there is alot of denim going on in this picture.
What are you, the president, owner and CEO of Levi Strauss?
You can’t see them in the picture, but Dad is hugging his daughter because she wore her denim socks to match their outfits !!!
Awww yeah! Canadian tuxedos!
Holy Denim Batman !!!
… Batman
Everybody together sing like Nina Simone “Mississippi Go*Dam*”
Gotta love that Canadian Tuxedo.
‘Round these parts, it’s a Texas Tuxedo!
It’s traumatizing times like this that created the birth of Emo poetry.
Dam it!
“But this hug makes everything OKAY, right?? Aren’t we a happy family now?? No?”
The family that denims together stays together.
Good one!!!!! LOL
“We’re so, SO happy!” says dad. It’s almost like if he squishes you hard enough, his happiness will rub off.
that look is totally back!
Mississippi….birthplace of the blues. Are you facing the dam or in front of it?
dueling Canadian tuxedos!
Hilarious…for the win !!!
Love it!
He looks like is is posing with his first catch.
hahaahha NICE
Hahahahahahaa
denim and a braided belt.
It looks like you were trying out for Village of the Damned, or something LOL. I’m guessin you were just a bit angry about the park?
Wow Olivia, you were a cute kid.
It seems to me that you did get cheated. Dad said that he thought you would, “rather see the Mississippi Dam” did he? The translation of that is that he really wanted to see the Mississippi Dam.
Hang on. Did you transpose those words? Did you mean the d**n Mississippi?
Please, no one wander off the dam tour and please take all the dam pictures you want. Now are there any dam questions?
you beat me to it! i was scrolling down to check if anyone had said it
…was that a Pushing Daisies reference?!
Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase
omg the story makes it even better lol
That is a lot of denim.
Someone stop that man! He is stealing that child.
……………………..so I guess you didn’t want to see the dam?
ha guess i’ll have to remember that, sweet park trumps mississippi dam….
Two thoughts:
1. Its good that Olivia provided the back story for this picture, because it actually looks like a kidnapper taking a post-abduction photo!
2. Did this family have stock in the Levi Strauss Company? :- )
For the Win….!
holy denim!
…and that was the last time you ever did your errands. It doesn’t ever pay off. Does it?
Lol! Best comment!
are you guys wearing denim underpants too?
Bahahaha!!!!!
WIN.
Sometimes it’s the picture itself, sometimes it’s the comments. hahahahaha
She was saying dam* but it wasn’t in reference to anything Mississippi
The dad looks like Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. And today is his birthday. Coincidence? I think not.
He does indeed look very much like Gene Roddenberry, but Roddenberry had a son and no daughter.
ComCon withdrawal symptoms?
LOL!!!!!
Too funny. She is not a happy camper. And Dad!!!! How could you?? LOL
