Siblings
Happiest Birthday
“It’s my sister’s birthday in 1968 at the party where no one smiled.”

Cut The Corduroy
“That’s me in brown wide wake corduroy pants with a suit jacket. Brother is on my lap with grandfather and parents looking on intently. Guess they were afraid I was going to drop him or they couldn’t get over my fashion statement.”

Tiger Twins
“I’m not sure what’s more awkward. The matching tiger print overalls my grandmother made us…or the expressions on my grandma and cousin’s face from all of my protesting over these photos. This is the best we got.”

Scouts Honor
“My brother and I got our pictures taken in our classy boy scout uniforms. The photographer asked us to look to our right, expecting us to turn our heads and look right. My brother and I kept looking forward and only moved our eyes, assuming that was what he meant. The awkwardness in the photo explains how confused we were by his direction.”

Lapbrother
“The fact that my sister is superimposed as a giant ghostly head distracts from the more disturbing details– like the fact that I am sitting on my older brother’s lap and holding hands with him, and that we also have matching glasses. I don’t remember a lot about the day that we took this photo, but I do remember thinking that my brown striped sweater was my ‘cool’ sweater and I insisted on wearing it. The fact that my collar had a longer wingspan than a bald eagle is a nice finishing touch.”

Kissing Cousins
“Circa 2004. The boy in the middle is my brother and all the ladies are my sisters and cousins.”

The Sea Was Angry That Day
“This was taken on a boat trip in England in the mid 90’s. Not sure whether it was the rough waters or the matching outfits that was making my little sister so unimpressed.”

Squeeze Play
“My siblings didn’t like me very much (I’m the one trapped underneath). This happened more than I cared for.”
