I’m picturing this as a scene from an old sitcom or something.
Mom comes out like “not the stock pot!!”
Or maybe she looks at the camera, exasperated, “Well, I guess we’re NOT having spaghetti tonight.”
Edit- sooo, I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t sure about the popularity of spaghetti in the 40’s and went down an interesting & delicious rabbit hole, lol. In the midst of this I found this yt page & this specific recipe/video that I absolutely loved. I need to watch more to get a better gauge, but from just this I feel like Alton Brown would support the idea of the show, but he’d have wayyy more cultural & scientific commentary. He was basically the Bill Nye of cooking.
I’m thinking of the time…trees still have leaves… probably spring or summer…very likely that WWII had ended in Europe, but the US had not dropped atomic bombs on Japan…he had lived through two world wars and the Great Depression.
With sleeves all the way down no less, man has the dexterity of a surgeon
He looks so much like Glenn Howerton from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I hope that pot was specifically a dog-washing pot!
Great photo! I wish I had one of my dad like that!
Your dad was a fully functioning adult in 1945? Wouldn’t that make him over 100? And you likely over 70?
What a cute picture! I love the look on your dad’s face! Dog is adorable!
