Family portrait turns into a complete FAIL... you will not believe your eyes
Finding the opportune moment to nab a family picture is one of life's greatest battles.
It doesn't matter how long you will for it to happen, it will just never happen, until the moment you least expect.
And when you eventually grab it, you love it – it depicts your abnormal normal family life, taking pride of place in your home.
And we reckon this family portrait, Donal Skehan, posted online will be no exception.
While out and about in San Francisco, Donal and his parents decided to take a casual family photo with their pet dog, Max.
Not wanting a regular, let's all sit down and pose for the camera shot, the trio along with Max, played around.
Jumping in the air, all with their hands up, laughing and smiling, they jumped – and the family shot was picture perfect.
Well – not exactly – you see, while Donal and his parents took their leap, so too did Max, but he didn't go in the direction he should of had!
Max made his way to Dad's crotch area, and if the photograph is anything to go by, well, he may need an ice-pack!
After much panic and worry, Donal has since confirmed that his dad and Max are still the best of friends: "My dad would like it pointed out that he was wearing low crotched shorts and that Max has a very gummy bite and that the family jewels are all still in tact!"
Pretty much sums up the disasters which are family portraits in our opinion, (we're still giggling though!).
