Not Happy Mom With Glasses

Not Happy Mom With Glasses
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: EYEGLASSES, GOGGLES, AND OTHER EYEWEAR
This was a cheap eBay purchase of lots of photos in an envelope.- some of them Photo Booth pics, like this one.
I used to find it a little disturbing because the mother looks mean and the kid looks a little "off". Now I just think this is a face I probably made many times when trying to catch my own four boys looking pleasant. There was always one who pulled a face like this, or screwed the family pic in other ways - and it used to royally tick me off!!
So I'm changing the narrative of this photo in my mind - she's a warm loving mom with a mischievous little boy who's just driven her to the brink!
See below for another glasses photo from the same purchase.

The kid's comical expression is hilarious, and I think your interpretation of his mom's exasperation is spot on!

I've had a similar expression as the boy's when trying to suppress a yawn.
[Interesting, I yawned as I typed that!]
