Hump Day

Fish Food
“When I was about 9 or 10, my mum and dad took me and my sister on holiday to Wales. My dad is the biggest wind up merchant and never happy until he can make a kid cry. On this occasion, he had convinced me that the lake was full of man eating piranha fish and 6 ft deep. This was taken by mum, you can’t see my sister laughing behind her, but my whining and protesting at the prospect of being fish food made for a good photo that’s haunted me for years. Dad has just confessed after 30 yrs that he felt bad for making me cry!”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“I recreated a photo of me from 1991. Apparently 23 years is enough time to realize that you don’t believe in fairy tales anymore. Even if you dress like you are in one.”

Grill On Grill
“While we were visiting our grandparents in south Texas, we made a trip across the border where my little brother picked up a sweet switchblade comb. As an added bonus, you can see my grandpa’s brother, Fritz, fixing us some lunch with his grill set on top of another grill.”

Spawn
“My son wanted to wear his Spawn Halloween costume for picture day at school. Of course, we said no. Stubborn child that he was, he hid the costume in his back pack and wore it anyway! We had no idea until the pictures arrived, I was so angry! I intended to send them back and do retakes but my mother in law begged me to buy them. She said I would love them someday, and she was so right!”

The Bird
‘I had quite the attitude right out of the womb. I guess there really is a reason my mom was always telling my dad “Don’t do that in front of the children!”… guess she didn’t expect it to sink in so early.”

Catch Me If You Can
“When I got married back in ’95, I invited some ladies from work. Apparently, catching the bouquet meant a lot to them.”
