World’s Best Dad
“Here is a picture I drew for my dad when I was 8 years old back in the day (1999). I have no idea why I decided to draw a devilish pig, with flames bursting in the background, because he is a good guy. Hmmm, if that’s my dad, I wonder what that makes me?”

Battle Of The Bulge
“This was taken just before we were attached to a steel cable and hurled through the Thai jungle (like a flying fox – the tour was called “Flight of the Gibbons.”) As you can see, my husband looks like he was quite excited about the tour.”

Show & Tell
“Bring Your Parents to School Day in kindergarten 1990. Apparently, I wasn’t so pleased about who I brought.”

Puppy Love
“1980s, Wisconsin. That’s my mom in the middle, my aunt & uncle on the right, and my grandpa in the back not realizing his kids aren’t paying attention.”

Boy Meets World
“One of the first pictures of my newborn son and my husband. Not only is my baby cranky, he is expressing his displeasure with a definitive middle finger to the world.”

The Glass Blowers
“My Dad’s 85th birthday. Took a picture outside the restaurant which was in a very artsy part of town. Wasn’t until I posted it on Facebook that a friend pointed out that the writing on the wall behind us was hilarious. Of course it originally said glass blowing.”

Bottom Line
“I was 6 and on a road trip through southern Brazil with my family. At a petrol stop, somebody thought it would be nice to take a picture of me mimicking the plaque which points to the restrooms. I’m not sure if my father included the stranger inadvertently or not but to this day he swears it was a mistake.”
