Backstabber
“I was home for the holidays after I joined the navy and completed boot camp. My father thought we should have a family portrait. My brother picked up a knife and held it over my unsuspecting father’s head.”

Overflow
“My two oldest boys were in our new jacuzzi when they were approximately 5 and 7 years old and like all safe and responsible parents we left them alone for awhile. When we came back the whole bathroom was covered in bubbles. They said ‘It just happened by itself.'”

Twisted Sister
“This is a photo of me and my sister. I can remember exactly what the photographer told my sister: ‘Straddle the bench and look directly into your sister’s ear.’ Really? Did he think this was supposed to look good? My mom says it was part of the package and she had to buy it.”

Synchronicity
“This is a picture of me and my sister right before a tap dance recital. We were supposed to be clowns. Notice the Hula Hoop sown into the bottom of the shirt. You might ask…how do you keep those things on your head? Straight up Aqua Net.”

Call Waiting
“My sister was in hard labor for over 24 hours. I just found out she was getting ready to have a C section. So I was on the horn letting everyone know I was able to go in and watch.”

Choked Up
“This is an outtake from a family photo we had taken in the late 80s. My brother must’ve been doing something bratty, of course, but it made for a hilarious outtake and my favorite one from the entire day. This was taken in our house in front of a quilt my mom made… classy background, huh?!”

Got Your Goat
“Me and my brother at the zoo in the early 80s. Someone should have told 4 year old me how this picture was going to turn out.”

Dashing Through The Snow
“Our first family photo with our son and my wife wanted to have Christmas photos taken to send out to the family. I put on a smile, but I have always HATED this photo as we looked like giants in this teeny little sleigh.”
