Here is a picture of my father, William James Patrick McDermott (age 4), with his older sister Patricia. They were ring bearer and flower girl for a family wedding in Chicago, Il., both displaying what I call "The McDermott Mouth" or "The Irish Mouth" - it is both visual and, in later years, audibly sarcastic and obnoxious; something I unfortunately inherited and what is to blame for most of the trouble I've ever been in.
