He looks rather large for only being 2, maybe they thought smoking would stunt his growth??
Well, it may have! Full disclosure: He's my uncle and he was around 5'8" as an adult. My dad (his younger brother) was 6'2". :)
AncientFaces I read it before I commented, he's still a good sized boy for that age!

KellieAnne Smith Foreman Truthfully, I think it was a real one and his parents were just having fun dressing him up. He was the first boy (he had an older sister at that time).

AncientFaces Congrats. You have adorable genes in your family!!!! :)
It hasn't had a chance to stunt his growth yet. He's only been smoking for a couple of years so far.
KellieAnne Smith Foreman Some cigars certainly looked like that. They were usually called Perfectos.
Jerry McFarland AKA "Tiny Bear" was a Ruthless Irish Gangster in the early 1900s he was known to take out people's kneecaps with a machete and once slip through a police line that had surrounded the gang's hideout disguised as a little boy he came to a tragic end when they found him floating face down in a puddle with a Tootsie Pop stuffed down his throat
Dan Johnson was a disgusting legacy and he was once a sweet child 🤔
Dan Johnson Ive got a 9yo, who could have been that 2yo gangster. She was RUTHLESS!!!! O.O
Dan Johnson I was going to ask if this is for reals...It makes a good story how about if you write a short story
Rosanna Martinez well thank you , I've actually have written a few , also a few short screen play's , bit of a hobby , I don't really put them out on the internet anymore seeing's how I had one stolen and it was changed just enough and having no copyright on it I had no recourse when they turned it into a stage play and it became a big hit on Broadway but needless to say I have a number of friends that always tell me Dan you should write a book but I certainly do appreciate your thoughts hope you have a wonderful week and keep your eyes peeled you never know where I might pop up with some silliness
Found this sweet boy in a thrift store. Inscription says his name was "Preacher". He holds that cigar like a pro 😳
The first time I visited Italy to meet my grandparents I remember being shocked by an adorable younger 6 year old distant cousin who I've grown to love smoking a cigarette, taught by my very sweet great uncle. He's lucky he has good genes since my great uncle smoked every day of his life and lived to be 90, healthy until the last few months of his life.
