Canadian Gothic: 1976
Taken at my grandmother's cottage in 1976. Gloucester Pool near Port Severn, Ontario, Canada. My children Sarah and Doug. View full size.
Mad, mad, MAD!
Doug, we all have sisters who look like they are the sweetest things EVER. In truth, they are the ones who will burn the whole world down!
What a truly wonderful shot! BTW, do these two get along now? Does Doug remember why he was so upset?
Opposing poses
I love the contrast in poses between the two. Sarah is sweet and somewhat shy, Doug looks like he could burn the whole world down.
Adorable kids!
What a couple of cuties, even the grumpy brother. Love it!
Oh, Brother!
Your son makes me think of my little brother. We used to have a huge mirror in the living room, nearly the length and height of the whole wall. Whenever my brother was "putting on a face", either for sympathy or because he was mad, we would catch him checking in the mirror to see if he had it down pat, often right over your shoulder.
If he was mad, he'd say "I'm going to give you an alligator for Christmas!" or "I'm going to give you a snake for Christmas!". The size and ferocity of the animal depended on how mad he was.
Once, when he was mad at my Mom he yelled "I'm going to give you an SNAKE for Christmas!" Then, after a moment's thought, he said in a small voice, "but it won't be poisonous."
She and He
Expressions on a child's face are always so telling: I'm guessing that Sarah is pleased as punch to be photographed showing off her fancy hat, and Doug is pouty as all get-out just because Sarah is so pleased!
