A girl once showed me a family portrait she'd had taken with her parents and her dog. Both her parents were angled toward the dog on one side, then she was behind her mom's back standing to the side all by herself.

I dunno why but the picture of the cat with the caption saying "Someone spent money on this." cracked me up.

One more of this fellow. And why not?

1/11/2008 10:23:33 PM

Oh, this is super. What better way to capture the charm and innocence of a child than to plunk him down amid the coarse trappings of a life lived in pursuit of wealth -- oversized bills, an adding machine and the Wall Street Journal -- and make him sit inside a briefcase? (They probably just fold up the little demon right in there to carry him home.) The finishing touch is the globe, which completes the portrait of the young Antichrist in Club Room vest and Red Goose loafers, plotting his takeover of the world (insert maniacal laugh). That is, as soon as someone changes his poopy diaper.
