when i was little, i had the same dress as the little girl crying in this picture… tho im pritty sure my parents never took a picture of me crying in it xD
Mom’s shoe is missing because there is no way she could have positioned her foot in that awkward yet photographically appealing position with the shoe on. It makes total sense, sheesh.
In the little town of Stepford, Chucky “The Dragon” Kowalski had convinced his brother to work with him to take mind control of all the parents in town. Now if their sister would just stop resisting!! Mom had tried to resist but destroying one of her expensive Manolo Blahniks broke her and she quickly gave in.
I see a dinosaur, a penguin, and a candy cane. I don’t understand the dragon reference. Is the off camera dragon what the lady and baby are looking at?
My first question was: Why did the photographer have the parents crouch in these odd positions? Why not have the kids stand on something? Mayhap the photog wanted to get the whole dragon sweater.
The screaming baby. The one happy child. The unhappy parents. They mystery of the missing shoe.
Now, that I think about it, that happy child looks very pleased with himself. I think he’s behind the missing shoe! Perhaps having something to do with the baby, hence, her crying.
Agreed, this is classic Fellini. Why is dad kneeling, why is mom with one shoe? So many questions. The most important being, why would any photographer in their right mind take the shot?!!
I think Mom’s missing shoe must have something to do with obvious lack of sleep from that baby that won’t stop crying. This looks like a “take me away Calgon” commercial.
I’m guessing it was like a bad sitcom episode. They just went through a 15 minute session of chasing Mr. Giggles, a tantrum from Sweater Boy, and a diaper change for Susie, hence the crooked tie and missing shoe, which got lost in the midst of the hijinx and will turn up in Mom’s purse when she takes out her checkbook to pay for this lovely portrait. Hilarity ensues!
Ha ha! As the mother of two who has had such moments before a professional photo, I can just picture that whole scene. Mom’s hair is a mess too so I’m thinking it was one of those “just take the damn picture already so we can go home!” moment!
lol, I love that! There are too many damn lets get it done moments for me. Just had my b’day and the kid was crying for the damn cake, hubby was still clicking the pics, the cake was getting mushy… aarrgh

Well it looks like whoever photo shopped the dad and boy into the pic deleted the other shoe!!
It appears the feared dragon ate the father’s legs….

lol i noticed that!
everything about this picture is awkward. to the maxx.
Who cares about the kids shirt. WHERE is her other shoe?????
right!
the kid in the blue sweater looks like hes photoshopped on lol
The Dad looks like Jim on “The Office”!!!
HAHA! I’m so glad you saw this.
The king of awkwardness!
haha! he does!
I disagree.
In the little town of Stepford, Chucky “The Dragon” Kowalski had convinced his brother to work with him to take mind control of all the parents in town. Now if their sister would just stop resisting!! Mom had tried to resist but destroying one of her expensive Manolo Blahniks broke her and she quickly gave in.
FTW! Too funny – I hadn’t even noticed the missing Mom’s shoe.
I would TOTALLY wear that sweater!
Agreed. I’d feel unstoppable in it.
I agree MollyT: In that sweater, you’re bulletproof.
that sweater is badass
I think the middle child may be smiling, because he’s squeezing a nice hot one in his diaper.
I gather that Mom was willing to take this photo come hell or highwater, hence the missing shoe and screaming kids.
hahaha this comment cracked me up. i was thinking the same thing. what the hell happened to her shoe?! lol
The only one enjoying this at all is the kid in the middle. And by the look on his face, he seems to be enjoying it because no one else is.
I thought dragon-boy was a ventriloquist’s dummy. I’m not totally convinced yet that he isn’t.
That’s the funniest thing ever!
Or is that a skirt?
I see a dinosaur, a penguin, and a candy cane. I don’t understand the dragon reference. Is the off camera dragon what the lady and baby are looking at?
There’s a LOT going on in this photo.
My first question was: Why did the photographer have the parents crouch in these odd positions? Why not have the kids stand on something? Mayhap the photog wanted to get the whole dragon sweater.

this is too funny, lmao!!
That’s like a Surrealist painting.
Whoa.
More like a Fellini film.
Agreed, this is classic Fellini. Why is dad kneeling, why is mom with one shoe? So many questions. The most important being, why would any photographer in their right mind take the shot?!!
On top of everything else, the baby’s dress has a candy cane and holly so this means it’s also a christmas pic? Now that’s awkward . . .
And what about dad’s tie? Can’t anybody straighten a tie for the poor guy?
This photo is the epitome of awkward… only normal thing about the picture is the dragon on the sweater…
Dragon Boy has that look in his eye – like we just took him off the sent from “Children of the Corn”!
He appears more of the “RED RUM!!!” type to me …..
OMG – YOU’RE RIGHT!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!
I love love love the bald baby girl screaming for her life.
Is that a girl? I thought it was Mcauly Culkin.
OMG!! She DOES look like him!!! AAHHHHHHHH!!!!
hahahahahahha!
has anyone asked about mom’s other shoe?
i was just wondering the very same thing…where id it go?!?
That was the first thing I noticed….thye just seem ill-prepared for a family photo….
Nope, no one noticed it at all.
Dad must be kneeling down or he is very very short.
i thought i was the only one to notice…
The photographer has mom on a kiddie chair, dad’s kneeling, what was the photographer thinking. Just get this done and get them outta there??
LOL I pity the boy with the dragon sweater he looks like he wants to breathe fire.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop…
The boy in the center is the only one smiling. I think he and dragon are in cahoots.
Looks more like a dinosaur than a drago to me.
I think Mom’s missing shoe must have something to do with obvious lack of sleep from that baby that won’t stop crying. This looks like a “take me away Calgon” commercial.

I have to go with this explanation! Been there, done that, too……
lol, I love that! There are too many damn lets get it done moments for me. Just had my b’day and the kid was crying for the damn cake, hubby was still clicking the pics, the cake was getting mushy… aarrgh
Where is her other shoe? Did they think we wouldn’t notice if she tucked it back at a weird angle?
So much to be confused about in this picture…
uh, whats with her other shoe??
Also…one shoe?
Mom has only one shoe…. but dad has no legs!
Did the dragon chop his Dad in half?
The dragon ate mom’s shoe, and it’s not stopping there!
LMAO!
Why is the mom only wearing one shoe?
I find the fact that mom only has one shoe on a little more odd than that kids sweater!
What happened to the Moms other shoe?
The Dragon must have eaten moms other shoe.
I am laughing so hard I am crying. Love your comment.
hahahahahahahahahahah
this is thee funniest thing ever
