From time to time, readers of Walking the Berkshires are invited to suggest their wittiest captions for an image plucked from my extensive ancestral files. Here, then, is the 11th installment in the occasional series of Family Archive Caption Contests where you and other aficionados of the high art of photo caption humor are invited to bring on your deliciously droll, whimsically wry, splendidly satirical best.
What are we to make of these two dear urchins at right? Can it be that you can think of no better caption than the names and dates penciled on the back of this faded photograph? Don't hold back! There is a one-of-a-kind digitally-enhanced testimonial in it for the winner, suitable for framing, and never mind if you are closely related to these charming young ladies. Only they know what they were really thinking and unless they weigh in it is up to you to contrive the rest of the story.
Step right up, dear readers, and caption this!
As she posed for the photograph Suzie Q became acutely aware of both a noxious aroma, and her sister's suspiciously gleeful smile.

Wearing the bigger hat did nothing to make poor Harry any happier about this situation.
