A picture must tell a story. Your parents go to a black tie event. Come home (suspect a bit loopy) and want a picture together with the person who watched you on the couch.

Am I close ? 😄

Close. The lady on the couch was their friend partying with them. My older brother and/or sister could have been babysitting that night and per usual, my parents brought the party home with them. I was that late, unexpected addition to the family, right before Roe v Wade, so I was the only baby/toddler in the friend group at that time. I was always allowed to stay up til the party ended.

Aw they're so happy! To his is a great pic!

It's a big favorite of mine. My dad was the photographer in the family so this is one of only 2 photos I have with us together when I was young.

I always suspected I was the “get out of Vietnam” child. I know where you’re coming from.
