An Easter Arrest

Choose Your Own Adventure
“On one of our family trips to Kansas, my brother looks like he’s flashing my grandmother. I know that not to be the case but it’s a mystery as to what he was doing.”

Before There Was Photoshop
“I pulled this photo out of a shoe box at my grandma’s house. (She’s the right-most superimposed person.) This is all of her siblings & my great-grandmother in the middle. When I asked my grandma about it, she said they wanted a pic of the whole family but my grandma & my great aunt (the other superimposed one) were not available, so my great uncle had them put in the picture. Now this was done YEARS ago before photoshop. I had it on my fridge for the longest time. They look like quite the happy family, don’t you think?”
