Photo-Me & my Dad

Here is a picture of my father and I. I am unsure of whether the picture was taken at my grandparents' house in Amherst or at my parents' house in Wooster. The picture was with my grandmother's slides so it's likely at my grandparents' house.

I had never seen a picture of myself as an infant. The story went that my parents didn't have enough money when I was born to be able to afford baby pictures but that my grandmother likely had pictures in the form of slides. So this summer, I broke down and purchased a $700 negative/slide scanner and began going through my grandmother's hundreds of slides.

And, lo and behold, look who I found! Me!

You may notice that I appear to be sucking not my thumb but my middle two fingers. This is something I remember doing up until I was about four (maybe a little older.) Like biting my fingernails and chewing my hair, I just eventually stopped doing it. But I think it's funny that I obviously did it from the time I was very small.

Who da thunk it? Pinky wonders...
