  1. Thanks! This brought back fond memories of our family movie viewing parties where Dad would run the projector and show all the Super 8 reels, Mom would provide the popcorn, and all the kids would look for their appearance in the movies of that year’s Fourth of July picnic, Christmas holiday, birthday parties, etc. Lots of laughs at all the antics of the kids who, of course, just had to act silly as soon as the camera came out.

  2. Well, I’d have to say my favorite of this batch is the opening picture (also #6). I’m sure it’s based on fact. Numbers 2, 3 and 5 are definitely the most degrading. Two wives and a husband were very likely yelled at after the guests left. The other problem is the awkwardness of future gatherings with these same people again.
