Boy, can I relate to this photo! My son Brendan recently had his very first teeth pop; his two lower incisors both made an appearance last week and he hasn’t really been enjoying the experience. He’s been fussy, crying, and wants to be held more than usual. I doubt this photo of my dad taken around 1953 involves crying over new teeth but his sentiment is the same as Brendan’s – “I’m not a happy camper.” I saw my dad this weekend and he appears to have made a recovery from whatever bothered him while this photo was being taken.
