Cha-Ching

LJ told me she'd pay me $10 if I'd post this picture:

I call it "Nerd Family, 1999."
Notice how everyone but Kenta has their head cocked strangely in order to prevent glasses glare. Kenta remains the only glasses-free Hood. But he has the biggest eyebrows, so it all evens out.

Also, unfortunately, there are no winners for my lookalike giveaway from the previous post. The answer was Ami and George. No one guessed it correctly. Rika technically posted the right answer, but she had already pried it out of me before commenting, so it doesn't count, and she is a cheater.

this picture kills me! So glad you posted it.

LJ said...

WAUGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Thank you. Oh mercy. What a gem.

Keep an eye on your mailbox...10 bucks a comin'.

Those nerd genes are the only hope our children will have.

Some people think I became weird and nerdy, this is proof that I always have been.

Melissa said...

This is so awesome. I think we all have "that family picture" that we love and treasure. I love your "sultry" look too.

Kenji and Mika really look like twins. Kenta claims that he looks "normal" in this picture, but upon closer observation, I contend that he looks just as nerdy as everyone else (except for Grandma and Grand Pa).

This picture absolutely slays me. Thanks, LJ, for footing the bill so we could all partake of this dorkaliciousness.

Evan just left for school--but when he gets home, this is the first thing that we are looking at. It totally made my day.

Don't worry, Joel, your children could also have ridiculously big feet. :)

Rika Burr said...

i think kenta's ears look enormous.

Evan and Holly said...

So when Evan saw it, he said that he remembered that picture and then he said, "well, I lived that picture." :)

I LOVE IT! I remember this picture!!! How cute you look Ami!

Brian, Laura, Felix & Ezra said...

OH MY GOODNESS. Definitely the best family pic ever!
OK, and I definitely need to catch up with you, Ami! How 'bout a phone chat sometime?

Laurie said...

Ami, now you have to get LJ to post her school picture of short bangs, after I gave her a perm and the curler wiggled and solution burned off her hair! That is funny. Mom Frost

I resent the comment that me and Kenji look like twins. I'm way prettier than him.

I'm commenting on an old post because Michael and I recently saw a book called Awkward Family Photos. We looked through it in the bookstore for probably 15 minutes and laughed the entire time. I think this picture could definitely qualify to be in that book.
