Behind The Awkwardness: Our Little Pumpkin
August 4th, 2011
“My 3 year old was very unhappy about his first preschool field trip even though it was to a fun pumpkin patch. He scowled at everyone and everything the entire time and was even madder after I coerced him to getting behind this pumpkin cut-out to take this picture… if looks could kill, I would have been dead immediately after taking this photo!”

















This photo is so much cuter because he’s mad. He is just SO adorable.
Whatchu talking bout Willis?
OMG this is soooo freaking cute and funny!!!! Love it, love it, love it! This kid will laugh so hard at this pic one day.
Fairy godmother, I’m going to get you for this!
When I first saw this I thought someone was trying to do a clever (ha ha) birth photo. Either way, it’s a good awkward photo!
You know, despite the awkwardness, this is actually a really good photo. I would totally blow it up and frame it, ’cause it’s that cool. Awkwardness can be so beautiful. <3
Is this at Sky Top Orchard in NC??
He is just so cute!
I think he is upset that he has to share his photo with that badly drawn mouse.
I am not amused or happy about this!” He is cute as…well a pumpkin.
“This IS my happy face.”
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater finally eats his was to freedom!
I look forward to having kids so I can make grumpy pics of them
(By the way, AFP-people, I LOVE the non-rude comments on this site, but did my previous comment seriously not get through because I used the V-word for ladyparts??)
I didn’t see your prior comment but I can only imagine what you said. This picture totally looks like the kid is in the birth process, the process of being born. Oh, and he’s not looking real forward to coming out.
Boy, he must be incredibly cute when he is happy if he is that cute when he’s mad!
This reminds me of that publicity shot of Jack Nicholson from “The Shining” where he’s sticking his head through the door opening. REDRUM!
Yeah! I agree. My first thought was a baby head coming out of your know what! I was taken back but then I saw it was a pumpkin. To me it’s not about the boy’s face or expression, it was the ackwardness of the stupid pumkin and how it looks like an opening !
Utah’s nephew is cool!
Angie, your son is awesomely adorable!
I chaperoned my daughter’s Pre-K field trip to the Pumpkin Patch…..I agree with this face….worst field trip ever. But he is precious, mad look and all.
A pumpkin prince literally being “crowned” !
my thoughts exactly. A little bit of cropping, and this is a WHOLE different picture…
i am so glad I am not the only one who saw this
Oh thank you for saying something. I thought the same thing.
Ditto.
wow, yeah, me too
Thank heaven, me too
I thought that’s why it was awkward.
And I just though I was being a perv… good god!
oh yeah, it totally looks like he is being born. That’s what makes it awkward! He looks a little ticked off about having to come on out too.
No one quite does “serious” like a 3-year-old. He’s a cutie
Awww. Your son is too cute for words! Great pic! Thanks for sharing
Well, you may have all seen a birth canal, but what I saw was … uhhh … a bit further back. I was thinking “I would be angry too if I had to pose inside a pumpkin’s pooper”.
Trick or treat?
~I’m just a lonely little petunia in a pumpkin patch, a pumpkin patch, a pumpkin patch …~
I know what he’s thinking: “I’m gonna get you sucka!”
LMAO!!
Excellent picture! It will be a blast to display at his graduation and wedding!!!!!
I agree! I am his mother and I am looking forward to using this picture for sure
Don’t forget to have it on hand to present to his prom date!
Lynzee – I thought the same thing when I first glanced at the pic!
This is adorable to me cause every one of my Dad’s childhood pictures looks just like this. He was mad a the world as a little boy but you’d never know it now cause he’s Mr. happy-go-lucky.
Congratulations!! It’s a very angry baby boy!!! :/
Tell us how you really feel! I love it, this is so adorable.
lol lynzee, i thought the same thing! and we all know, NO one is happy during birth.
Such a cutie, even if he is grouchy
I guess the pumpkin patch wasn’t very sincere so he realised that there was no chance of The Great Pumpkin turning up.
LOL! Love it!
OMG This is hilarious. Totally adorable!
Ooooh! This is so cute. What a doll.
Awkwardly enough, the placement of all the pumpkins makes this look like birth. lol
OMG!! I thought the same thing!
Oh man. I’m glad you said it first. I was about to post, “Ummmm, does anybody see what I see?” Complete with “fig leaf” and curly hair. Sheesh!
I was thinking the same thing! And it looks like he’s thinking “This is what I waited 9 months for?”
LOVE IT!
BAWHAW!!!
O.M.G.!!
I was thinking the exact same thing! lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Hahahha that’s exactly what I was thinking haha eewwww.
Hahaha, you have an extremely active imagination.
I totally agree… it was the first thing I thought!
LOL! I had to go back and look. You’re so right!
Cute kid though.
Push! Push! Push!
