"Where we dumped the body"


It could just be an innocent family picture at a popular picnic spot, but there's something in Mom's demeanor that worries me a little. The rigid pose, the "Wednesday Addams" dress, the lack of other picnickers.  

I reckon that mom finally had enough of pop's drinking, and over Sunday breakfast, she lashed out with a cast iron frying pan. Of course, somethig had to be done with the body, and mom and the kids decided to dump it at Pearson's Point - the popular picnic spot - while everyone was off at church. Of course, Hank Jr (tall boy) wasn't particularly happy, but family ties won out. Hank Sr was weighed down with rocks and sunk.

So, who took the picture ?   Obviously, it was set up on a rock and the self timer used. If the police came snooping around, the photo was the proof that Hank Jr was around then, before running off with some floozie.

Am I right ?
