Spoiler alert: All is well!
A side-splitting family photo is making waves online after hilariously capturing a moment that went awry. Recently, Jamie Thompson and his parents took a trip to San Francisco, where they decided to snap a picture to commemorate their adventure. Little did they know, the outcome would be far more amusing than they anticipated.
“And this is when our family portrait went totally sideways,” Jamie shared, a food enthusiast and photographer who hails from Dublin but now calls Los Angeles home with his wife Lily and their dog, Buddy. “Buddy, our dog who adores my dad, got a tad too excited during a jumping shot outside the iconic painted ladies of San Francisco,” Jamie explained on social media. “Talk about redefining ‘crotch shot!’ Does anyone have an ice pack handy?”
The uproarious image quickly gained traction on Instagram, prompting a flood of comments from well-wishers on Facebook. “Looks like no more little siblings for you!” quipped one observer. “Ouch! He left more than just his heart in San Francisco!” joked another. One astute commenter noted, “OMG! Well, he’s a seasoned dad. I’m sure he can handle some low blows. #dadproblems.”
Surprisingly, many commenters were genuinely concerned for Jamie’s dad. So much so that Jamie felt compelled to reassure everyone on Facebook and Instagram about his father’s well-being. “Thanks for the concern regarding #crotchgate—rest assured, Buddy and Dad are still best buds,” he said. “Dad wants to clarify that he was wearing low-crotched shorts and that Buddy has a very gummy bite—everything down there is intact!” What a close call! The Thompson family is lucky they didn’t have to cut their trip short for a hospital visit.
Not only did they avoid a trip to the ER, but the Thompsons now boast the perfect family photo, and they already know what to do with it. Jamie humorously added, “Our Christmas cards are going to be legendary this year—family photo gold!”
