I guess it is a can! There is no writing on the back of it and it sort of looked like it had some kind of wood-grain on it but there is that seam down the back. I sure don't recognize the colors as being of any soda that I know of, so maybe it is beer! They're making him look like a grown-up and he is thinking it is funny with his little grin.flanum wrote:Looks like a can of beer to me
flanum, I think your bell-bottoms in your photo are just too adorable!

Just before we left Dublin, 1957. That wave was the style back then. I still maintain it.
Five years later, back in Dublin. Aunt's flat on Killarney St. Uncle Pat, my dad's oldest brother, a Dominican. My dad said he was a brawler when he was young. He was pretty mellow when I knew him. Loved classical music. I can't seem to find that wallpaper around here. Pity.

Time to resurrect this thread. I guess not that many of us have access to pictures of ourselves as kids, but I found these in a falling-apart binder at my folks' house.
That's me in the green overalls. My brother got the Beanie doll for Christmas.
My brother and sister are watching our great-grandmother carve turkey.
I can see from these pics that my years of lurking in the background as an observer started early as my brother impressed everyone with his IQ and my sharp and competitive sister (phi beta kappa, summa cum laude, Kenyon College) scraped and clawed to keep up. I generally found it easier to hang back and keep my own counsel than to jump into the fray with those two.
Gotta love the turquoise oven!

Close...it's a beer can. From a picnic at Princeton College. My dad had one which was three joined together in a row (with the bottoms of the top two removed). Explains a lot, really.flanum wrote:Looks like a can of beer to me

Couldn't find any from when I was a baby (I'm the youngest, so there aren't very many) but here's one I was about 8 years old, with my siblings. I'm the second from the bottom.
