Notice Anything Missing? 'Vampire' Photo With Trump's VP Pence Goes Viral
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com ) — The Republican National Convention gets underway Monday, but it's a photo taken of presumptive Republican vice presidential candidate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence that has social media buzzing.
During a visit to New York over the weekend, Pence and a couple of family members stopped off at a local Chili's for dinner and posted a photo of their night on Twitter.
Busy weekend in NY! Enjoying a quick dinner with the family at @Chilis. Looking forward to getting back to Indiana. pic.twitter.com/SUFjYcvQpH

And while at first glance the image seems to be a simple one of Pence enjoying a meal with his wife Karen and daughter Charlotte, a closer look - at least to some - appears to show Charlotte without a reflection in an adjacent mirror.
Twitter users immediately called for an explanation.
Are you going to say nothing about the apparent missing reflection?

- Where is the reflection of the woman in white? Does Chili's cause people to become vampires?!

Some suggested Pence may have Photoshopped Charlotte out of the image (for some unexplained reason).
But a few astute observers offered some possible solutions.
Duh! Mikes body is covering his daughters body because his body is larger than hers.Photographers angle!

Mike is covering her body because HE was PSed over it. Notice that in the reflection the edge of the booth runs behind him.

Presumed GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump announced Pence as his running mate on Saturday ahead of this week's RNC in Cleveland.
