IMPERIALSTUARTS: Flashback Friday...Abercrombie called...

They want their shirt (and their pose) back.

Jake, Age 4

I swear there was NOTHING posed about this photo. I walked in to find this little boy laying on my bed, watching TV like this. Luckily, I'm never far from a camera.

He HATES it when I show people this photo.

Which is, you know...why I included it in his baptism slideshow...and why I'm sharing it here. I believe it's my parental duty to keep him humble.
