Stone Cold

“That’s me in the middle (age 18). There’s apparently a Christmas tree behind me. That’s my brother (15) and my sister (12). It was not a good Christmas Day. It was not a good Christmas Day at all. I definitely remember our mother taking this photo. And I definitely remember that all of us were determined to not smile. No. Matter. What.”

“At Christmas last year (2013), my younger sister was up from Florida (a not so common occurrence for the holidays) so we were trying to get some good pictures of the four siblings together. At some point we wanted to include our Mom in a picture, but since there really wasn’t enough room on the couch for her to sit with us, we tried this pose for fun. My wife was taking the picture and she was noticing that some of us were squinting. So she told everyone to open their eyes wide. Hence these expressions.”

Oh Brother Where Art Thou
