When Dad Was Always… Dad
Seeing high school portraits of our parents is always such a trip. It’s so interesting to see what they looked like when they were younger and more carefree. Also, it’s a known phenomenon that people from the past always looked older than their actual age. For example, take this 70s photo of someone’s dad. How old do you think he is in this black-and-white photo?
If you guessed 20s or early 30s, you’re very, very wrong. Allegedly, according to the OP, this is a photo of their dad when he was only seventeen. While many people voiced their doubts about this, we’ll have to take the OP at their word. Seventeen-year-old kids back in the 1970s certainly looked a lot older than seventeen-year-olds today, so it could be entirely possible.
