wake pics

i was uploading pictures from a wake we went to last friday and noticed that these were happy pics.  uh-oh...

my mom was telling me before she felt somewhat embarrassed when pictures from a wake they were at showed them with such big smiles.  i retained this and in the wakes that i have gone to, i've cautioned against too happy a smile whenever there's a camera.

but then in the previous wake my friends and i attended, i was amused to see that my friends and i looked sullen and glum while the family of the deceased was all smiles in front of the camera.  ooops... we looked more bereaved than the bereaved... : }
