Family Photos

When you are at a friend’s house for the first time, one of the first things you always do is look at the family pictures.  The hallways, staircases or fireplaces of family photos remind us of who we are and where we’ve been.  Family photos tell a story that you may or may not get from your friends.  They also can bring up fond memories.

There are a few characteristics that you can count on in a family photo – big hair, outdated fashion and baby blankets.  It’s always fun to laugh at what we used to think was cool.  ”Why did I part my hair down the middle?”  ”Why did I ever let my wife talk me into getting a perm?”  ”Is that a porn mustache?”  Outrageous!  But among the craziness, there are usually baby pictures – lots and lots of baby pictures.  And what is the most common item in those pictures besides a smiling baby?  Usually, a baby blanket!  So think about it.  If you’re giving a baby blanket as a gift, that gift may be plastered on a wall for 20, 30, or 40 years somewhere.  Doesn’t that make you think twice before you buy a gift?  Maybe you don’t think it’s a big deal.  But if you don’t believe me, go check your wall of family photos right now.  See if there isn’t a security blanket being held onto by one of your little ones.
