Other people's memories


I buy old photos of other people's families for no appreciable reason. There are plenty of astonishingly awesome pictures of my family, but I just can't keep my compulsion in check. When people visit my home and see the pictures, they always ask the same question: "Is this your family?" When I say no, they try to regroup: "Your husband's family?" No. "Do you know anyone at all who might be related to these people?" No. "Then why?" Dunno.

This is my favorite of my collection. Mostly because the entire family looks drunk, like a potential serial killer, or like they maybe got too much of a forceps squeeze on their way outta their mama.

And here's a closeup of my favorite of this family:
