Christmas Morning, 1958
My mom, then just a toddler, opening presents with my great-grandfather at my great-grandparents' house on North Pulaski in Chicago. He was close to retirement as a sergeant with the Chicago Police Department when this was taken. He passed on prior to my memory, but Great-Grandma (or GG as we called her for short) continued to live here until dementia took her independence in the early 1990s. View full size.
Go ahead; gimme your best shot!
Peeking over your great-grandfather's shoulder is one of those plastic inflated clowns that one could punch and it would sway backwards and then come back upright for more.
Wonderful photo. Your mom is so perfect she hardly looks real.
