I may die for this...

...but it'll be worth it. Ange, your mum was very forthcoming. You were adorable as a baby.

(This one's my favourite. Isn't he cute?)



Don't worry if you don't see me for a while - I'm going into hiding. ;)

Growing up, my chruch's choir didn't look like that.

Why do parents always have the obligatory naked baby picture? (if you say "because it's obligatory" that's not a real reason)

[xp_daytripper]

No idea. My mum didn't have many of me, thank fuck, but there was one of me having a bath in a bucket. *cringes*

[x-wither.livejournal.com]

A bucket? Run out of bathtubs? Or was it a bath on the go? (All pictures of me, I'm sure, were thrown out.)

[xp_daytripper]

My family lived in a caravan. Still does, actually - they're German gypsies. I'm not - it's a long story, but basically I wasn't brought up with them. So it was a bucket for the kid bathing.

[x-wither.livejournal.com]

What'd you graduate to when you got too big for a bucket?

[xp_daytripper]

There was a tin bath, I think. I was only with them until I was two, so after that it was the usual bath thing.

[x-wither.livejournal.com]

Ah, well as long as it wasn't just a series of buckets and then an upgrade to sponge baths. I can't imagine having a tin bath. Ya know, used to the running water thing here.

[xp_daytripper]

Well, I don't remember any of this - it's mostly what my brothers have told me and the photographic evidence. But they turned out all right, so I guess it wasn't that bad.

[x-wither.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm sure it wasn't bad. That's what they used to do before plumbing anyway, right? Just because it's an old method don't mean there's anything wrong with it. It just takes some adjusting to as an idea, I think.

I win the internets. I love the LOLcat generator.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

There's one of me naked, in a box covered in mud. That one doesn't ever get shown.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that just last week?

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

...oh my God. I meant the choirboy pictures were going in the box, I didn't... even know she still had those.

Now I need to go find out what else my mom is keeping in her photo collection.

[xp_daytripper]

*grins* She's a traditional mum - she's got everything. And was more than happy to show them to me. All three albums worth. ;)

I was good and didn't scan the one of you running around the house naked?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

...she's never gonna let me take the albums away, is she.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

dude. widdleangelo is cute!

what happened?

[xp_daytripper]

He got all manly and hot?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

or something. I am so glad my mom is a hippy.

[xp_daytripper]

Why exactly?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

she doesn't have a lot of photos.

[xp_daytripper]

Hippies don't believe in photos?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

No. I don't believe in letting her near here. And she's not too great with a computer.

[xp_daytripper]

*grins* Sounds clever. Mine didn't take a lot to start with, and there's no scanner with them. I got to borrow some for a bit to show Kurt, but I sent them back before I went to New Orleans.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

This is why I do not invite any of you home to meet my parents.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

Your dad is nice, Hakota!

And so's your mom.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

Aww. I bet you made an adorable baby...who felt the need to pull apart the family toaster.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they would be agreeable to sending photos upon request?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

You already met the Castellanos! And Paolo even told the story about the first time I went out on the boat, which is bad enough without photos.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

I do not believe that anyone would wish to see photos of that, Forge. However, I can say with certainty that if someone were to somehow procure photographs of you as an infant, people would wish for them to be shared.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

And my mother loves showing them. She showed them to a federal agent! You can imagine my chagrin. "Thank you, Mother, now an agent of the U.S. government has seen me naked in the bathtub. I have no pride left."

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

There is nothing left to lose, then, is there?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

This reminds me of the time GW and I showed Pete the pictures of Dom we took when we abortively tried to send her to that poor convent school. Except Angelo's not tried to shoot anyone over it. Good show, boy!
