A Family That Leaves Me With So Many Questions

I have to ask:

Is Dad wearing a unitard with patches and pockets? And what is in his hand?

Why does Mom have her hands on her hips and two babies hanging from her forearms?

Why does Mom have an afro?

Why is Mom wearing bellbottoms?

Is this a 1970s sticker family?

And, what the hell is that thing on the left? And why is there an animal on it?
