Spreading the Awkwardness
The lady kind of looks like Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.
Nothing says Irish like shiny, green-ish face paint.
The guy looks like the offspring of a Martian and the Tin Woodsman from Oz.
I’m feeling a wee bit green around the gills…
The baby just saw a glimpse of his future, and realized the next holiday was Easter, when his grandparents would dress up as gigantic Peeps.
I think the real winner here is white trousers. Really, who wears white slacks around green face paint and small children?
This is me and my little brother on his first birthday (3/17/1985). Those are drunken strangers, not our grandparents, although the photo was taken in our grandparents’ photo studio! Happy birthday Malachi!
I guess I’d have to call this photo your basic disaster.
I mean — green makeup? Really?
Not many people know that before getting the top-billing stardom of David Bowie, producers of ‘Labyrinth’ originally cast Reba and George as the creepy, child-napping goblins of the otherworld. Thankfully mullets and bulges won through….
Somebody stole that poor kid’s Lucky Charms.
Looks like Gramps ate too much corned beef and cabbage.
Yowza! Is that a garter on his arm?!
I’ve seen older people look like this when they get off an amusement park ride….
i never knew fred and ethel mertz had grandkids…
Is that Sharon Gless?
If I didn’t have the proof in front of me, I would never believe that people actually take pictures like this.
I’m loving the Santa Claus Conquers the Martians paint job
Funny thing is, Grandma and Grandpa looked like this after Cinqo de Mayo, too….
Ah, ’tis true. But, remember, there are TWO kinds of luck.
Follow the yellow brick road! Follow the yellow brick road! Follow the, follow the, follow the, follow the, follow the yellow brick road!
baby’s crying ‘cuz he’s been getting pinched all day-he’s wearing blue pants
Obviously this was Grandma’s idea. You can tell by the look of pure joy on her sweet little green face.
i like how grandma is hunched over like she’s afraid she won’t fit in the picture… with the kids -forget about grandpa!
Note the badge on the old man’s jacket says “Honorary Irishman.” Whew! I wouldn’t want to claim this lot.
He looks like rodney dangerfield!
Kid in the middle is going to have PTSD anxiety attacks whenever he sees green now.
It’s not easy being green.
Kids are scared to death — green grandparents!
Looks like green lupus
I love how the toddler is comforting the baby: “It will be OK–this only happens to Gramma and Papa once a year…They aren’t really leprochauns”
That is excatly what I was thinking! TOO funny! And what on earth is on their faces?!
I would be crying too!!!!
My thoughts exactly!
poor baby! who thought this was a good idea? I mean really.
I am now embarrassed to be Irish.
Betcha these people aren’t Irish though
Grandma and Grandpa had a rare form of cirrhosis of the liver
Caused by consumption of too much green beer!
