I think a lot is being read into the photo simply because the question of PM or
not was asked. I see this all the time on PM or not photos. Ask yourselves
honestly whether you would still be seeing so much evidence of death if Penny
had simply posted a picture saying look at this photo of my family? There is no
way of knowing why the children had any particular look on their face. They may
have just gotten yelled at by their father for not sitting still for the
photographer or for constantly talking or for hitting each other or any number
of things that every normal child does. Or maybe one wanted to be on the other
side or wearing a different hat/outfit/etc. We can't really know what caused
any particular emotion or if there was any emotion at all. How many of you have
seen a photo of yourself where you looked mad or bored or whatever when you
weren't feeling that at all? It just happened to be a particular camera angle
at just the right time of you moving your face. I know it has happened to me.

That was my thing as well. The expression on those kids face is upset. By
this time in pictures this entire myth that no one smiled...we've lots of
pictures with people smiling. The oldest, poor thing, she's literally
holding the weight of their grief and you can see it in her face.
