My Sincere Apologies to Grant Wood  by grammyn

My Sincere Apologies to Grant Wood

My granddaughter and her husband just moved into a house because they need more room than the apartment they were living in for that baby you might see in her belly. We were working in the yard a little bit and I mentioned I needed a photo for the day still. Her mother suggested one of the two of them in front of their new house. Because there was a rake readily available this play on American Gothic happened. It was hard to get them not smiling

For the sixword story

It's no more disrespectful than this: https://365project.org/olivetreeann/365/2020-05-07

(o; It's fun that you can see your granddaughter is about to lose out to the laughter.

Love your title. He’s got the straight expression pretty well, but she just can’t resist. Happy day for them.

S is doing much better than H with maintaining the serious expression. This is not a surprise. 😊 Kudos for the inspired off-the-cuff photo!

Awww so great! It’s wonderful they found a house, I like the style of the house too. Such a great six words!

Without reading the story, the photo is a bit disturbing. Indeed made me think of that painting. They are awesome! Good luck to them!

It is so fun when people are really into helping with the photo. This is for sure a fun shot. So Katy you are either about to enter the great grandma realm or adding to it. How exciting, and congratulations to all of you!

Wonderful shot, the look properly serious!

She has beautiful hair and a good actor husband who does look rather grim. Not as grim as @olivetreeann Ann's link though!
March 7th, 2022  
What fun! And I just recently learned (on a game show) that the painting depicts a father and daughter (not husband and wife, like I always thought!)

congrats to the new house owners . What a great idea. You should print this so they can hang it in their new home.
