Passing the Blame by K.R. Wireman
The Country Gentleman, February 26, 1923
Caught red-handed—or at least, red-faced—two young boys stand in front of a broken window, pointing fingers at each other with perfect innocence. Passing the Blame is a delightful slice of childhood mischief, where the only thing faster than the rock through the glass is the speed of shifting responsibility.
With humor as timeless as the scene itself, K.R. Wireman gives us a moment every generation knows: “It wasn’t me!”
For seniors, this artwork is a joyful reminder of the playful trouble and clever cover stories that colored childhood. It brings back memories of youthful antics, neighborhood adventures, and the art of getting out of hot water—sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
Displaying this piece invites chuckles, sparks stories, and warms the heart. It’s not just about a broken window—it’s about the spirited memories of growing up.
A wonderful way to relive the fun of childhood blunders and the laughter they still bring.
