You're blaming us! When you left for school that day, the tie was upside right! I remember that day exactly! What about the phtographer? That person should have fixed it for you. Bill, you strive to be different in every way. Bet you did it yourself! You wanted to wear that particular tie! i remember it well! Cherish the photo! The Mom is always the one that gets blame.See, how it made people laugh and smile!
you are totally rocking the bow tie.
ReplyDeleteLove the striped jacket.
You would think someone would tell you not to WEAR a bow tie :)

Your tie was fine. YOU were upside down. (The jacket is killin' me.)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly were a snazzy dresser!
ReplyDeleteJacket + upside down tie + that haircut = priceless
ReplyDeleteHey, by today's standards you are SUPER hip...isn't all that garb in again thanks to OutKast? As long as it's all properly worn...that is.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even KNOW there was a right-side-up to a bow tie, until NOW!
ReplyDeleteBastards.
ReplyDeleteBut other than the bowtie, you look almost exactly the same today.
that must be a boy thing.
ReplyDeleteCheers
You'd think someone would mention that bow ties were so NOT cool.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the stripey jacket.
snicker
Reminds me: must burn all my childhood pictures.
It does frame your face very well, even if it is upside down.
ReplyDeleteHee hee!
ReplyDeleteYou have a look of "I'll get them back someday..." on your face.
I can't believe they let little kids work at soda fountains in those days...
but you are adorable, the rest of the outfit doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww! So very little boy handsome!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I'm singing that Pretenders song about "Precious".
ReplyDeleteWOW...There are some pictures of my husband...OMG...boys sure got the raw deal back then.
ReplyDeletelol...now that's a good Monday morning laugh. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time on here...I...don't even know what to say...I...I...just can't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteS-N-A-Z-Z-Y.
ReplyDeleteWhoa.
CK! PWAHHHAAA! soda fountain...
ReplyDeleteA soda jerk! That's what your type was called!
Amazingly enough, that is exactly what Batman's 1st grade school picture looked like, too.
ReplyDeleteyou remind me of Bert, Dick VanDyke in Marry Poppins....when he dances with the penquins!
ReplyDeleteWow. You can tell you had a bunch of older brothers to protect you on the playground ;-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. You were still cute though. I probably would have shared my lunch with you.

holy cow I am crying at this whole post. What made you want to wear a bow tie to school in first grade?
ReplyDeleteOh sure, blame everyone else. Face it Bill... when you want to defy the laws of fashion (blinking shoes), you cannot be stopped. ;)

ReplyDeleteOkay.... I am so happy you left me a comment cause I have not laughed that hard all day. Actually... allw week long.

Total stud muffin. I wore a string of pearls in my first grade photo. If only we'd been in the same class...
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks a lot like Max with darker hair, huh?? Aren't genetics amazing!?!?
ReplyDeleteBow tie!??! TOO CUTE!??
Yes, someone should have told you. Apparently it didn't bother you too much at the time:)
A young Tom Jones comes to mind...
ReplyDeletewow, I'm surprised you didn't get beaten up
