Atypical

I think this was taken by a newspaper photographer which is why we look unusually civilized. I'm pretty sure this is the first time and last time Jerry daintily sipped from a teacup. I love this picture because it preserves the memory of the kitchen in our Watergate house. And, the sunlight is shining on our little Mary. A more typical scene is reflected in the cassette tape that Jerry surreptiously slipped into the centerpiece that recorded the bickering din and clanking silverware of mealtime. I bet Mom kept that tape and hope it surfaces some day. (In a side note: when I was viewing this picture on the blog, I was stunned at how much Jerry looks like Jimmy. Do y'all see that?)
