Bachelorette Party
“This was my aunt’s bachelorette party! Not only does my grandma look beautiful, my mom looks mortified. I remember this guy showing up as a cop then my mom making all the kids go play in the back yard! I knew they were all up to something. R.I.P. Grammy I will miss you forever and ever! ”

Dropping The Baton
“I had been excited all day long for my baton recital. My mom had gotten my hair and makeup done and I could not wait to get on stage. However, I did not know there would be pictures involved. When I was presented to the photographer, I was more than pissed. The face you are seeing in this picture is basically me saying ,’Screw you, Mom and Dad.’ And the hell of it all is…the photographer PICKED THIS PICTURE TO PRINT. My parents BOUGHT IT. My parents GAVE COPIES TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. It will live in infamy on numerous refrigerators, in many photo albums, and now, in all its glory all over the web.”

Knit Pic
“Me, my mom, my stepdad, my brother, and my stepbrothers. My parents had those sweaters made by a family friend. I felt like an idiot wearing it at the time but looking back I think it’s hilarious. And I think my mom still has the sweaters.”

The Birthday Balloons
My 5th birthday in 1979. My mom is not known for baking or photography skills, as evidenced in this blurry snapshot of my patchy cake, fire displays and phallic balloon sculptures.”

The Grad Photo
“My friends and I met at a prenatal class so our babies were close in age. We thought it would be adorable to have a professional picture taken of our bundles of joy. Our offspring conspired against our Gerber Baby-esque plans.”
