“This is me and all of my cousins getting a family portrait done at a Sears somewhere in Boston, MA. I’m the one crying. Don’t know why. But my dad says we gave up on the photo after about 45 minutes.”

Downsized

“My brother and his ex wife separated. Afterwards, we didn’t have a family photo without her that included my son. This was my Opa’s solution: cutting out a photo of my son and pasting it into the family photo that was taken the year before the ex came around.”
