309- A Thousand Words? You Betcha

Photo #27 (Day 57 of 365)

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, that saying is accurate. If you know anything about both my patriarchal and matriarchal sides of the family tree, you know that I'm much, much closer to my mom's side of the family, and that my dad's side of the family is polar opposite. That's the truth.

Here's the fun part: if you know anything about literature, you know that light and dark are typically symbolized as forces of good and evil. Now look at the picture.

Look at the colors worn by the adults.

Look at who's smiling.

Look at who's reeling in horror at my infant presence.

Guess which people are on which sides of the family tree... go on... guess!

I'm even making things worse by smiling up at my paternal grandmother who is, well... not pleased.

I love irony.
