> [@apollonia](#): > > The snow pictures have a Northern corollary–pictures of “The Big One,” usually a drift with a meter stick stuck in it or a kid (or a full-grown person) standing next to a snowdrift, or shoveling. Or a kid on top of a snowbank next to a house showing “how tall he is” ---

Don’t forget all dressed up for Easter holding your Easter baskets. I love all the old sullen look photos of grandparents, great grandparents, etc. There are also pictues of my sis, brothers and me with all of our childhood pets over the years. When we look at those pictures, we start talking about each and every pet. We can go on for hours about cats, dogs, gerbils, parakeets, turtles, rabbits, the snake mom didn’t know we had until it got out of its box one day while my little bro and I were at school… 😃 Good times! ---

First Communion pics wear all the little girls look like child brides in their white dresses. When I made my First Communion, I was too small to fit any of the store-bought FC dresses, so my mother had to get a white dress for me and doctor it up. Hunting camp with dead ducks and happy dogs. Pictures of people sitting around playing poker, with lots of beer bottles and over-flowing ashtrays. There are actually very few pics of me as a kid. There’s a baby being held at a baptism, which they’re attributing to me by default. Next picture is me at about age 9 with a cat I got for Chrismas. I was child #5, 4th girl. My brother was the oldest, then the only boy - lots of pictures. My oldest sister - beautiful baby, only girl (for a while) - lots of pictures. My other sisters - identical twins, absolutely alike - lots of pictures. Me - Oh. It’s a girl. That’s 5 kids under the age of 6. - no time for pictures. StG ---

Anyone with kids usually has the “baby sleeping on daddy’s chest” pic. ---

> [@It\_s\_Not\_Rocket\_Surgery](#): > > Tourist standing in front of a world-famous landmark, holding their hand in front of it so the landmark looks like it’s tiny. (Unless the landmark is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in which case they are in a pose where it looks like they’re holding it up.) Ha! That reminds me of an exhibition of tourist photos in the film museum in Amsterdam. Hundreds of pictures of people pointing at the many bikes at the central station, people standing in giant clogs in front of a shop, people pointing at tiny cars, and thousands of Japanese people doing that V sign. The only picture I have right here is one of me holding my baby niece. ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > My favorite is “family standing in front of the Dachau sign”. That is so wrong. I will have to do that. As for the OP…How about the two kids (not twins) close in age dressed exactly alike? My sisters, 11 months apart, always had matching dresses, shirts, pants…hair cuts. One picture they were in their sunday velvet dresses with shiny leather shoes and white gloves. SO lady-like. How about baby’s first zoo visit? ---
