Duck
This is supposed to the second of two photos. In the first photo you see a red Fiero with my sister and her boyfriend getting ready to go to the Prom. Mostly what you see is my sister's dress and her boyfriend's tux as most of her head and all of his is lopped off.
My mother, as you may recall, used to have the bad habit off cutting of heads when she took photos. Perhaps you remember the time I told you about the moving pictures we have featuring Adams-apple-and-down shots of me and my brother on the first day of elementary school.
And so, when it came to mom taking this picture, sometime in the early-to-mid 80's, my brother and I both said, "duck" and did so.
As you can see, mom left plenty of headroom.
(And her inability to take photos 25 years ago does nothing to tarnish her reputation as a trophy parent.)

This made me laugh. I could see my oldest boy doing this. I cannot, however, see myself still managing to get the shot off after "duck!". Your mom's a rock (er... a very lovely granite or even a gemstone, I'm sure)!
