Mom
Holy Roller
“I hated taking pictures when I was little, especially ones where we had to dress up. I told my mom I was done and she didn’t believe me. I didn’t mean to make this face. It just sort of happened on its own. So this is the Christmas card she got.”

Big Stick
“This was at a company picnic. A friend snapped this picture of my daughter and I. It wasn’t til I got home that I realized that a friend’s kid was holding a rather large stick in the background.”

Window Watchers
“While I was having a photo shoot, my mother decided it would be totally acceptable to have the photographer take photos of her and my brother creepin’ through the weird window in this photo. As you can tell, I was pissed and didn’t want to have anything to do with this picture. This picture has been making me, family and friends laugh since 1995! Thanks Madre!”

It’s A Hard Knock Life
“I was 6 years old. My mother was obsessed with me being Annie because I had curly hair. So, she fluffed it up, bought me a red dress and a stuffed dog and had my picture taken. I can’t sing, I can’t dance and had no interest in theater. Hopefully, the photo was enough for her dream.”

Mum’s Moment
“As dad lines up the shot, Mum, who’s dolled up for a rare night out, makes sure my kid brother doesn’t ruin her photo op.”

The Late Addition
“My dear friend’s mother came up with a very creative solution when, as a little girl, my friend cried upon seeing this photo when she saw she wasn’t in it.”

Gals And Dolls
“My mom thought it would be a great idea to dress me, her, and my American Girl doll Samantha in matching nautical themed outfits. Hard to say why we are all staring wistfully in different directions. My mom has not one, but two very large prints of this in their home (one upstairs and one downstairs) in Orange County, CA.”
