Call Me Maybe

“When my husband was a teenager, he got a phone in his bedroom with a caller ID, which at the time was a big deal. This is my husband’s dad in the photo because he wanted some photos taken to show off the phone.”

Tale Of The Tape

“Christmas 1985. My family got our first VCR and you would have thought we were welcoming our newest sibling home from the hospital after being born. That’s me in the middle, with the VCR on my lap.”

Claus For Concern

“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.”

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

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!”
