Alot of the old pictures we have, they don't smile in any of them .. Years ago I asked mom why not and she said it was because they didn't have any teeth

LOL. Your mom is a riot. I've been told it's really because of the extremely long exposure times necessary to take pictures in those days. Try holding that sparkling smile of yours for two minutes. It was probably the photographers who didn't want them to smile because they'd end up moving and spoil the picture. (Well, that and those unattractive gaps in their mouths.)

Well your explanation seems to make more sense .. LOL

Yes mom can be a hoot. She is the baby in her family of 10 kids, 8 girls and 2 boys

Every summer all the aunts would pack up us kids and we would go down to the Jersey shore for the week. They would stay up to all hours laughing and telling the same stories year after year.

My one aunt was a Nun and she would bring down her bingo game and prizes to keep us kids busy at night. I still have the glow in the dark rosary beads I won and after 30 years .. They STILL glow is the dark .. LOL
