“A lovely photo of my husband with Santa Claus back in India. My husband looks like he’s not sure if it’s Santa or a bank robber.”

Barney And Fiends
“Early 90s at a birthday party in Hollis, Queens and I was apparently not a big fan of Barney or his terrifying grin.”

Piggyback
“My Mom wanted my sister and I to pose together for dance recital photos. She wanted something unusual and suggested this. The photographer thought it was a swell idea.”

17 Is The New 40
“This magnificent awkward moment was my high school graduation photo from 1997. I remember thinking to myself ‘don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t fall!’ while precariously balanced on what I can only assume were old books under a wrinkled drop cloth. When the photos were sent to me I was too mortified to give them to anyone; in fact I still have the full sheets of them in a bin in my basement. I’m actually 17 in this photo, and I just recently turned 40. Not everyone gets to experience their 40s twice in life. I just happened to do it the first time when I was in my teens.”

I Fold
“This was taken after church one Saturday. My parents look like they don’t want to be there. My Uncle looks like he’s surprised to be there, (which might explain why he’s holding a folder), and me and my brother are just there.”

Big Sister Blues
“This was taken right after little sister was born. Big sister was not happy about it!”

Twice As Nice
“My baby photo taken in Springfield, MO in 1984. I always wondered why we had a printed version of this picture. This was the best one they got?”
