This makes me uncomfortable.

That's one strong mom

Groovy baby!

If I was in Germany in 1955 I'd need a drink and a cigarette too.

So many possibilities how this can go horrificly wrong..

I hung in bars too when I was little. Then they wouldn't let me back in until I was 20 - I must have been a rough toddler.

My father threw me into Tampa Bay. I was about 3 years old. I learned to swim in a hurry, because there were scary things swimming around in that water! Google "Horseshoe Crab" and you'll understand.

Before physics was invented.

Grandpa is not impressed, he has seen it all.

Safety first! Remember to properly attach the baby seat with the convenient succion cups to the gas tank before putting your baby in it.

Bubblegum cigarettes still were a thing in the 80s. :)

And his Awesome fashion choices. Cut off tummy top, micro running shorts and Sears Roebuck velcro kicks was my go to in '85 too! but he tops it off with that cherry Tom Selleck stash. Your dad is a legend.

Excuse my ignorance, but ... What is wrong with chicken?

chicken with milk and a smoke after giving birth. this is the true title...lol

Cigs go so well with a tall, cold glass of milk,,says nobody.

People were smoking AND drinking while pregnant at least through the 60s and nothing was thought of it. then science and studies happened. it's a miracle some of us are alive...

I had my boy in 1966 in Salt Lake City, UT., at the LDS Hospital. I smoked the minute I was in my own room. There was an ashtray on the side table! And I was in the hospital for 4 1/2 days for a regular birth! Ah those were the days! But a Mormon hospital!? Crazy! At the time I didn't think anything of it. But today it is shocking to me.

She looks great for just having given birth.

God she looks great after having a baby. Maybe there's something to having roast chicken after giving birth.

My mother had a burger right after giving birth, I think today we go a little crazy with all those rules

Well she sure looks good for someone who gave birth like, what, two days before? I looked like a trainwreck.

...and makeup too. A girls gotta look her best, even right after giving birth.

She looks gorgeous and happy!

The good ol' days :>}

Is it in someway possibly to find the woman on this picture...she looks exactly like my mom and I!!😳😅

thats not a chicken... thats the baby. AHHHHHHH

Swiss Chalet!

I gave birth in 1966 in S.L.C, UT., at the LDS Hospital, owned by the Mormon Church. The first thing I did back in my room was light up a smoke. There was an ashtray on the side table. It seems shocking to me today, but at the time I thought nothing of it. We smoked everywhere in those days. Yeah, I don't get the chicken thing either, maybe it's because there is so much of it.

I wonder if she smoked throughout the pregnancy or is this a celebration cig?

Great food in the hospital. Yep, smoking was OK everywhere when I was a kid

I could go for the roasted chicken, but you try lighting a cigarette anywhere within a hospital and you're toast.

Classic shot. Love it.

smoking in a hospital?! hope she wasn't while pregnant!

Looks better than hospital food today!

at least it wasn't fish fish can kill unborn children and really young children

We had one when we were kids. There was the button in the middle for the horn.

what no cigarette? well she tried..
