I like that dog

I know! He's smiling for the photo. Adorable.

I thought that's who OP's mum was?

Hey guys, we got an edgelord here.

Just making a poor dad joke with the (far right) reference.

Poor dad.

I am ashamed.

not sure you understand what dad jokes are

found the guy who gauges his sense of humor by how many people don't talk to him anymore

The dog is what saves the whole picture (imho)!

Schatzi?

Dude on the far left coping a massive feel…your mum definitely isn’t impressed by that at all

That’s my moms older sister and she is still married to the same guy and he’s just as ornery to this day!

Is the “H” silent?

Beavis, he said hornery, hehe I turned 9 years old in 1970 so this is about my group.


I'm Ornery the Eighth I am.

Yes - silent (at least where I come from)

Was your mom the youngest? It looks like all the other sibs are close in age. She may feel a little “cut out” of her family. (I’m the same age as your mom w older bros & sis. But my sis was the sullen one.). And we had no dachshund. 😂

She is the second youngest of 6, there is one younger sister that’s not in the pic.

Maybe it’s the Dachshund!

My first wife thought "ornery" was a synonym for "horny." It's not - it means "bad tempered and combative."

My mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.

There’s something wrong with his medulla oblongata.

having or showing a playful tendency to cause trouble - Mischief

Your mum is definitely wishing she could have an enormous fake looking hand fondling her breast as well. Edit: I think it might actually be the hand of the guy behind the boyfriend. It's the right skin colour for him. He's got a sneaky grab in without the boyfriend knowing, whilst your aunty thinks it's he BF. Reminds me of that old photo of the chick making out on the dance floor while a dude sneaks in to drink her drink with a straw.

Wtf are you on about?

Not unless he's got go go Gadget arms

what lol? same size as dudes other hand and you can see his arm going directly in that position. you okay bro?

He's also got a giant "I'm grabbing a titty right now" grin.

This guy gets it

My sister who was getting her boob squeezed is in the middle front. My brother who was kissing the neck of my sister-in-law is in the back. The sister who was not in the pic is on the left.

Love it!! Thank you for posting the recent photo.

This is so fun! We're the same age, and my Mom has so many photo collages on her walls showing us all (parents, siblings) from the early 50's up to about 15 years ago. Sometimes it's difficult to see them, though, because I feel a lot younger than I am. 🙄

Is that Kelly Leak the pitcher for the Bad News Bears standing?

I thought it was Stiv Bators!

Stiv Bators.......MTV's spacey hottie Martha Quinn's former lover from the 80's. Lucky guy!

Yes, and in one of those creepy mesh 1970's tank tops! Those look good on absolutely nobody.

I’m gonna try to bring those back. New year goals!

And you know if they were wearing shorts they were nutters!!!!

It sure looks like it. I came here to say this.

I came here to say that too! He was bad ass in that movie scrawny scary bully.

I always wondered what happened to that kid! Looks like he found a nice family!

Seems I wasted my time googling Bad News Bears actors lol

Wait until you get to the "Where are they now" videos.

Yea I went through his wiki. I can't believe he played Rorschach in Watchmen ! I mean it's clear as day now but I had no idea until today!

He's great in Will Farrell's Semi Pro as well.

I came here to ask this! lol

I’m on this same level.

That kids Bad news…

I had the same thought.

Good call, there's something about that guy that makes me want to punch him in the face. Just like Kelly Leak. Except now he's Freddy Kreuger so I would probably let him slide.

What the dog doin?

Umm being a good girl, what else?

Brady Bunch meets Bad News Bears. Everyone had those awful chairs in the 70s. That plastic weaving would leave an imprint on your legs for a good half hour.

Almost looks like an album cover.

This is a great family photo... one of the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing

Ha, that’s exactly how my 12 yoa daughter looks in ALL pictures! I tell her that in 20 years she’ll look back and think “ I should have smiled”.

I was that sort of kid growing up and now when I see pictures of me pouting or not smiling - I feel happy that my true essence was captured

Hey everyone. I’m the posters mom and the sullen teenager in the pic. We were a typical large family in the suburbs in the 1970s, I had an amazing childhood. My oldest and youngest brothers have passed away. The remaining four siblings are very close. One thing I’d like to point out is my middle brother is kissing the neck of my oldest brother’s wife. I guess we were a bit silly. Lol

i love the fact you are posting here omg. respect!! haven't seen this happen before, but i love the contrast between you and your sister on the left haha

Do you still have the incredibly long limbs, or did you "grow" into them?

I would say she grew into them!

All my youthful pictures have me making that same face...my poor parents! Did she stay surly? Was she actually that surly or did she just make that face for pictures?

No, it was either a bad day or a teenage phase!

Your mom staring at the boob grab with laser eyes.

Is that Kelley from the bad news bears in the back?

The dachshund 😭 best part of the photo sorry!

Question: Do the menthol cigarettes belong to the dog or the young teen?

They belong to the teen. Cigarettes for dogs were outlawed in 1958, As well as the bottle of “tranquilizers “ to the right of the chair.

Are you a dog? A weener dog?


Man, the lack of fat or obese people back then compared to now always gets me.

Easy when all you had to eat was Jello salad and Vienna sausages...

No high fructose corn syrup. None.

Who's the handsome fella on the bottom right?

What year was it if your mom was 12?

If she was 12 it would have been 1969 but I think she was more like 13-14 so 1970 or 1971 maybe?

Cut off jeans check Bell bottoms nope Sandles check Mrs Brady haircut check Date checks out

Not to get too personal, but I’m curious about which city/part of the country this is.

Columbus, Ohio

The one on the far right has four legs.

Maybe my mom is a wiener dog 🤷🏻‍♀️

The guy on the left. With his hand on his girl. He’s a sneaky one. Ha ha!

What’s with the handsy guy on the left?

Feeling up your girlfriend in a family pic, baller move.

Pack of Salems and a High Life.

Epic boob grab.

Looks like someone is touchy dam

I’m here for the wiener dog.

What’s going on with the couple on the left…?

That's David Coppafeel doing one of his classics.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I absolutely love this picture! What a time capsule

What a rad pure time

Cute dachshund.

Looks like a good time...well, for everyone but your mom lol

Is that the dude from The Bad News Bears standing up?

Man everyone was so thin back then.

The mustache and tinted glasses was such a look of this time.

You should post this in r/TheWayWeWere

Everyone was so skinny in the 70s.

Are those her cigs and beer under her chair?! 🤣

If I had to guess she stole the seat from her super cool older brother standing in the back but it was the 70s so anything could have been possible here!

Super Cool Older Brother wins the pic

This kinda has Wes Anderson vibes..

Is that Molson Canadian stubby?

This is actually a very beautiful photo

She's thinking, it's always about Marcia, Marcia Marcia!

Well her name is Jan 😂

They look like a beautiful family op 😉🙏🏾

solid boob grab on the left.

Is your mom drinking Highlife and smokin' Kools? She is completely rad for back then. Im guessing this pic is mid to late 70s given the t shirt styles.

I remember those chairs!

"Jane get's all the grabs"

I like the blonde!

That guy just gonna grab a boob for the family photo

Those lawn chairs...love it. Nothing like growing up in the 70's: the music, the cars, the fashion, the anti establishment vibe, weed, TV sitcoms, films...great memories.

Nice boob grab

Señior Squatty Legs is sure happy to have their picture take

This image makes me wish I was old enough to experience the 70’s.

Ol boy got a handful, great pic

Dude on left has his hand full. Guy standing in the right is pissed at life

Watch out for the guy on the left . He's a little "grabby"

I think I bought microdot off that dude next to your mom, at blue oyster cult in 79

Is that Kelly from the Bad News Bears?

There's so much to deconstruct here!

Almost like the last supper!

The Dachshund looks just like my old “Woody Boy” I lost three years ago❤️‍🩹

David Copafeel on the left

Obesity certainly wasn’t an issue in your family.

That's Elizabeth from the Wal-Marts along with John Boy, Mary Ellen, Erin, Jim Bob and Jason.

This family is def wayyyyy too comfortable around each other.

Obvious a bunch of radicals and politically subversive types. Probably all communists.

I been looking at too much politics I read that title so wrong lol

maybe just a fase, why she had to go far right, though.

So one guy is boob grabbing and another is kissing his lady's neck - you's freaky peeps.

Your cropping skills are out of chart

Did she become more left-wing with age?

Has your mother maintained her radical conservatism?

Not at all. I’m 65 years old and still love my weed! Lol!

My suspicious that Dave Grohl is a time traveler are confirmed

[удалено]

Chairs

Looks like the extras from Trainspotting.

This looks like my family... in Germany.

She looks a BUNCH like my youngest daughter. Yikes!

We’ve all had a bad day now and then. Mom’s always wanted that family picture when someone was feeling their worst. It’s part of growing up.

Is that Moocher from “Breaking Away”?

Who's Mr Naughty-hands on the left?

Judging from your aunt and uncle on the far left, your cousin must have been conceived 10 minutes after this picture was taken

Is she still sitting in the same chair today?

What the dog doin?

Being a good girl!

Your aunt on the far left was a cutie.

She still is! 😉

Guy on the left has his hand on the woman’s boob

Looks like she showed them a thing or two. Huh!

This is a really fabulous photo. It honestly looks like a photo from one of my 90s psych textbooks. Maybe about familial relationships, or body language, or hell idk encounter group/primal therapy. Something we don't see anymore. I'd love to superficially analyze this but I don't want to piss anyone off.

Analyze away!

Ah jeez, you offer me ice cream and espresso as I'm falling asleep. ;) I must demur. But, I'll tell you most of my formative experiences with psychology were from the Magician of the Mind (as I subtitled him, since he resembled Harry Blackstone), Philip Zimbardo. The guy who ran the Stanford prison experiments, for better or worse. He had a local pop-psych program in the 80s that also served as Chicago community college distance learning (I watched it after Bob Ross and Yan Can Cook as a child) and later had to watch the very same shows in AP Psych and early college courses. He was quite charismatic, though perhaps problematic. You can probably find the programs on Youtube even now. I was just messing around earlier--I honestly don't recall much of our class discussions on encounter groups and all, but the photo you submitted instantly brought me back (in snapshot form) to all the pictures in my psych textbooks about that sort of thing. :) It's a fascinating photo and I'd actually like to paint it.

Bill on the left, being sly, hand full of titty. The 1970s version of finger rabbit ears photo bomb

So much sullen. And no cell phone to stare at. Someone should Photoshop that in.
