the year was 1982 and e.t. had just hit the theaters (my brother and i used to call him, ‘e.t. — the extra testicle’. which used to make us crack up. hey, fuck you, i was 8.). universal studios california did a whole big e.t. thing. my grandmother (gram, to us) went to visit a friend in l.a. and got her picture taken as elliott.

i had forgotten all about this picture until a few years ago when i went back to my parents house and was rummaging around in some boxes. finding it was like striking gold, only without the monetary reward.

i’ll spare you the sentimentality and simply say that she was rad. and funny. peep that grin.
