I've never seen my dad joke around, or be "funny" in my entire life...seriously.
this, I guess is the closest thing to him joking around.
He didn't know what to do in the photo, he joked a bit about what he should do and made a couple of different gestures. when he made this face I snapped the picture and he called me a little shit (lovingly?) in Ukrainian.
