forever misunder(standing)(stood)

I have a scanner now. So I thought I'd share my favorite photograph ever. I think this was taken in 1978 or 79. A different era. In a place I haven't seen in years, and I'll never see again. What I love about this photograph is the utter randomness and, well, I can't even think of what else. The burnt-out lightbulb. The open pantry door. The shadow of the phone cord, and the cat that died when I was 9. Anyway... here it is.

 edit: i just though of this... in this photograph, my mother is younger than i am now.
