Goofballs

On April 19th, we had a family gathering as my older sister was in town for her friend's wedding. As is the norm in my family, some of us get a bit goofy at times. My greatniece was chatting with my brother-in-law, sitting on the couch, engrossed in the inane conversation he was having with her.

Then she looked up and saw that my sister had the camera pointed at her, so she made a face. Little did she know (she is six) I was hovering over her head, ready to chomp on her little unsuspecting self... lol!

So when my sister emailed the photo this evening, I just about died laughing! I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face, dragging rivulets of mascara with them.





Then my brother took the photo and, ahem, *refined* it a bit in Photoshop... to show our true colours! I laughed equally as hard at this one!




We definitely have the goofball gene in spades in this family! I love it!!!!!

    I do hope this isn't going to be an example of you when you get your teeth stuck into a man.

    U: Yes, he regularly altered photos and sends they to everyone via email.

    I am very lucky to have the family that I do.

    Hope your weekend is a great one to! :-)

    As proofed on this pictures, yes. You have to accept this side of your personality. Need a guru? I'd have one on stock, a little used, but still good for a little enlightenment.

    BTW, how's your relation with garlic?

    Mago: As a vamp, I am an enigma... love garlic... and silver too!

    Guru always welcome. :-)

    Brilliant! There's nothing like a bit of photoshoppery to make a great photo even better!
