That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 05, 2021

The Garcia’s were hoping by keeping their youngest away, what happened to their first 2 children wouldn’t happen to her.

Third time cloning finely paid off.

“Our cloning experiments are proceeding nicely, with the added benefit of eliminating all the icky stuff.”

Niles and Frasier Crane as budding fashionistas.

You can tell who’s the black sheep of the family

John and Marsha always felt individuality was grossly overrated.

Marilyn Munster as a child

I can already see the six figure psychotherapy bills in this child’s future.

You can still get girls’ flats like those today in Spain.

Come out front Dad and show us who wears the pants in your family…

Imagine their parents’ chagrin/ two sons, both girlish and thin / while the daughter they sought/ looks like she could have fought/ Joe Louis, and pulled out a win..

group portrait of a family of botox people…

Someone’s gonna have a lot to answer for down the road.

Another addition to the tap dancing team with luck

“They’re creepy and they’re kooky…”

…said their conjoined twin sons.

Three red-headed kids, and the swarthy Manuelo still didn’t suspect a thing. And why would he? Having red-haired kids is a sign of good fortune; his Irish neighbor told him so.

Except, of course, even their “daughter” Beth could have been named Ben more aptly.

Papa, Mama, sons & blow-up doll.

Mama must be used to playing the harp.

Julio Romero de Torres was dashingly handsome. He was a fighter pilot in WW1, his face adorned the 100 pasieta bill and most of his paintings aren’t quite as creepy as this one

In a daring attempt of rebellion at having to stand for the family portrait the two eldest of the Smith family fashioned the first faux hawks.

“Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!”

That looks like the inspiration for an old school Stephen King novel.

Years later, in therapy, Marco and Butchie would learn to accept that, while their parents couldn’t afford Jimmy Choo originals, they had always done their best to keep the boys in fashionable shoes.

A young Joe Biden sneaking in to get a sniff.

Herbert, I’m serious get it clipped or more sex!

Too bad they look like dad.

MOTHER: I’m regretting now that I made the 3 of you take off your wrist braces for this portrait…

“Hmmm… Nobody in my family has curly hair. Nobody in her family has curly hair. But my best friend has hair just like that…”

You don’t always get your wish/ now your girl child resembles a knish/ but since you have chosen/ to have your sperm frozen/ and to “mate” in a Petri dish……

the “simply irresistible” girl band as children.

Classic failure in assigning gender roles. :>)
