    I recently read about a pair of brothers (or something like that) who both won with a Lottery scratch off. One brother won several hundred thousand dollars, so was offered the photoshoot with the big check; and the other brother, who won less than $10, thought it would be hilarious to get his winnings on a big check too and have them take the picture together. They both seem pretty pleased with themselves in the photo!

    It is very, very common for parents, caregivers, and educators to "scribe" for kids who are just learning to write, or who have writing challenges like dysgraphia, and not unusual for the child to then "sign" their name, which is usually the first thing they learn to write. This might well have been a collaboration between a father and child for Mother's Day, mom's birthday, etc. No guarantees, of course, but definitely nothing definitively cringe here.
