Julie’s Mother’s Day gift

For Mother’s Day Julie updated all of the photographs on her mother’s mantel.  During the Christmas holiday 2016, Blake had paid a photographer to come take family photos since the entire family was in town.   These photos were available long ago, but no one had printed them out.

All in all they were a good set of pictures.  It is a good looking family and everything seemed normal in the photos.  Until one giant problem was noticed.   We had discovered an entirely new species, and it was captured in the photos.  Look closely below and see if you can see it!

Not the same species!

Did you find it?  If you look closely at the center of the photo you’ll find it.  It is very round, covered in hair (except on top of it’s head), and is wearing a gray T-shirt.  I’m talking about me of course!!

Look at the sizes of the people in that photo, and tell me that I don’t look like I’m an entirely different species!  Look how small my entire family looks next to me.  Either I have giant blood, or they are part dwarf.  Either way, we couldn’t possibly come from the same gene pool, could we?

Further Research

Of course, one photo might be a fluke.  I might have been on a hill.  The others were in a hole.  The angle of the camera just distorted the way I looked.  Of course I’m not some weirdly huge new species, right?

So we decided that we would needed more data.  So we checked out the photo of the ENTIRE family.  Two of the brothers-in-law are fairly tall.  Surely a second photo will prove that the first photo was just an odd picture.   And what we found was…

… sure enough I must be an entirely new species.

HOLY COW I’M HUGE!!

I’m not sure how it happened, but apparently I’m a really large human being.  I don’t even think I’m particularly tall.   About 3-5x per year I have someone ask me if I’m a bouncer, if I played in the NFL, or some other such thing suggesting that I’m a large intimidating man.   And now that I see these photos, I guess I can begin to understand it.

I still think these photos must be flukes though.  The brother-in-law closest to me is, in my mind, almost as big as I am.   I think the one just over from him, Ben, is actually taller than I am.   Why do I look like the Incredible Hulk?  It can’t all be the weight, can it?

I’ll guess I’ll have to lose the weight to find out!

In the mean time, since it might be the funniest movie clip of all time, I present to you ME, starring in The Avengers!
