When I think about my sense of humor I think it must have come from my parents.
I can remember listening to radio programs such as "The Great Gildersleeve" with them, as well as "Amos and Andy" and "Jack Benny".
Dad did a wonderful rendition of Harold Peary's raucous, rolling Gildersleeve laugh.
But way, way back . . before either my older brother or I had been born . . Mom and Dad obviously had fun during their courting days.
Anyone who says the early 20th Century was dominated by stern, serious men and women obviously never met my parents.
Great photo! I have my dad's sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteMy father's sense of humor was, well... lacking.
ReplyDeleteThat is a marvelous photo. What a treasure!! tc cambria
ReplyDeleteI have my dad's sense of humor, too. Good thing because my mother didn't have any.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of your parents. Both of my parents had a good sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful photo and a delightful memory.

ReplyDeleteI don't recall my parents laughing much when I was young, although when I got older and moved to live with my mother I could see that she enjoyed socialising and laughing after a few drinks she would even tell jokes that shouldn't be repeated.
ReplyDeleteWas your father smoking a joint? No wonder your mum was laughing.
ReplyDeleteNo, just a cigarette.
DeleteSorry. I did not mean to cause any offence with my silly quip.
DeleteNo apology necessary. I was not offended. I got a laugh out of it, as you intended.
DeletePhew! That's a relief. I did not wish to bring your legendary wrath down upon my head.

ReplyDeleteThat's a fun photo of your folks. We have pictures like that of my Mom and Dad. I think they were always happy together.
