Behind The Awkwardness: Green Steel
April 18th, 2011
“So my Dad’s landlord, who is trying to bring business back to his failing modeling agency (failing probably because he takes photos like this), volunteered to take pictures of my dad and I. He dressed and posed both of us, and this was the result. Oh, his instruction for our facial expression was “Give me stubborn! Give me sassy!”

Hilarious!!
you would just happen to be unbelievably sexy….wow….
Yes, he may have posed you like that, but I suspect that the outfit was your choice….
She specifically said that the photographer dressed them both.
This beats the last family photo I had taken…
And now he has that photo hanging in his bathroom.
I would smash on that!
The girls not bad either. ;D
It’s “my dad and me” not “my dad and I.”
Proper way is “My dad and I”.
Actually, the proper way is “my Dad and me” . Trust me on this. I’ve been on the Grammar Police Force for too many years to remember. Blame my private school education and my English Teacher College Prep Stepfather. Any way you want to look at it, it’s definitely “me” in this case. Read the book, “Eats, Shoots, and Leaves” it’s great!
You are both wrong. It’s supposed to be “…Pictures of me and my dad.”
Not “my dad and me.” And definitely not “my dad and I”
@Krow, your stepfather would be disappointed.
Actually, it can be either “my dad and I” or “my dad and me” depending on whether you are the subject or object of the sentence. For example: “My dad and I went to the store” is correct, as is “He volunteered to take pictures of my dad and me”. If you aren’t sure, try removing “my dad and” from the sentence, and it should become clear. You would not say “He volunteered to take pictures of I”, and you would definitely not say “Me went to the store”… At least I hope you wouldn’t.
P.S.: The girl in this photo is smoking hot
This person is right. totes.
wrong.
I was trying to agree that “me” is correct, but it is hard to tell who I was replying to.

“I was trying to agree that ‘me’ is correct, but it is hard to tell who I was replying to.”
Ahem…. “…but it is hard to tell TO WHOM I was replying.”
Grammar Nazi’s are annoying…especially on the internet….I is outta hear
you are a stone cold fox baby
Girl, you look great! You’re what models SHOULD look like (but sorry, maybe not like your grandpa lol)!
As a straight woman, I have to say, you are gorgeous!
snatch the nugget from my hand, Grasshopper!
Ooh la la…. dang, you’re one hot babe.
I still don’t understand. Did the photographer make you pose with your ass out like that, or was that your idea? Either way, it’s creepy all around.
no ones says it is a weird but also lovely foto
both are in there beauty days
they have the same eyes
and so much family..
sorry to be the one to tell you this, but he wanted pictures of you…dad is getting cropped right the hell out of these pics…
also, where are the rest of the pics????
Kill Bill Part 8
I originally thought it was an awkward fan photo with David Kerradine (sp??)!!!
stubborn, sassy, and a little creepy…but your dad is kinda hot.
Miss you owe me a new keyboard!
“…volunteered to take pictures of my Dad and ME” (not “my Dad and I)
It could have been worse. It could have been “me and my Dad”.
We should be thankful for small mercies I suppose
. It just annoys me when people (an alarming amount!) think that using “X and I” is intrinsically good grammar :S
Grammar helper, I feel the same way! I hate it. That and “I could care less”…really? That means you COULD CARE LESS! Ugh. I’ll step off my soap box before this becomes endless.
“me and my dad” would also be correct. It is only the use of “I” that is not
Wow. Nice meeting you, Clarity…I want to be in the creepy picture too
So she’s stubborn and he’s sassy, right?
The jury seems to be split on who is the stubborn and who is the sassy LOL
honestly he comes off a bit more sassy, although her outfit might suggest otherwise!
Wow, shocking how Henry Winkler has aged, eh?
Well the girl is hot, the picture would be funnier if she was ugly..
The first thing I noticed was that they have the same eyes…..hmmmmmmmmmmm.
