The 1972 Santa photo

Mom: [laughing] That's adorable. Every year there was a baby crying in the Santa picture. Tommy was old enough to enjoy it. Bobby seems a bit serious—I guess he was thinking about all the bad things he did. And you HATED HIM. Look at how upset you were! It used to be a big thing for me—I had to wait for Tommy to come from school, and Bobby to come home from nursery school, and you to wake up from your afternoon nap, then dress you all up, then put you all the car, and then drive to Roosevelt Field Mall, wait on a line, then get the picture taken.

 

Me: Only to...

 

Mom: To have it for posterity, like right now, when I can finally laugh at it.
