Behind The Awkwardness: Strange Encounter

“This picture is of my ancestor. My family would go visit Montana from Minnesota. The Montana family was much more tough than the Minnesota family including the boy in this picture. He was a tough little kid until he came around the corner and met Cindy the family monkey.”

MSPaint

“This is a picture of myself (Archie shirt) and my family. It was originally taken without my Dad, as my dad was always off being a pilot somewhere. My parents were having problems at the time, and so, in wanting a complete family photo, my mother added my dad – cut out from another picture – to it. I wish I had a copy of that one, because his head was 3x larger than ours, facing the wrong way, and his shirt had been marked in with a sharpie marker. When my parents stopped having problems, she changed the photo of him to the one now there. This was also at the time that she discovered MSPaint. She decided she thought my sister was being disrespectful by wearing an Arachnophobia shirt, so she painted it out with white. She printed it and put it up in our family home, where it remained on the wall for over ten years.”

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

Up On A Roof

“This was taken in 1979 in a Texas beach town. The two on the far right are my parents. Check out my dad’s peach leisure suit! They were visiting the family also pictured here, and took this photo after church with a camera on a tripod. The family dog had access to the roof from an exterior staircase located in the backyard. This dog regularly ventured to the front of the house on the roof to check out what he couldn’t see from the back. To this family, it was a normal, daily occurance.”
