Gals And Dolls

“My mom thought it would be a great idea to dress me, her, and my American Girl doll Samantha in matching nautical themed outfits. Hard to say why we are all staring wistfully in different directions. My mom has not one, but two very large prints of this in their home (one upstairs and one downstairs) in Orange County, CA.”

Gone Fishin’

“I’m not sure what my mom was thinking with this photo of my brother and me (I’m on the left). I know the show Hee Haw was a thing, but the shirtless, overall-wearin’, fishing pole-totin’ theme is beyond wacky imagination.”

Bringing Home Baby

“This is my parents leaving my grandmothers house after staying there for a month after I was born! My mother didn’t believe she actually could take care of me alone, at 28 years old! That’s my grandmom locking the door in the background! Thankfully they turned out to be good parents!”

Air Junior

“This is my little brother’s fourth grade class photo. Our elementary school decided to change things up a bit for picture day that year… and well, this was the result.”

Baby Goth

“I’m the baby in the photo and my parents were very goth-rock in the 80s and dressed us all up to take professional photos at Walmart.”

24/7

“My mom has this picture hanging on her wall in her house for everyone to see. She sends it to me every Mother’s Day. This is me when my kids were little. Apparently my kids needed me and so did the dog, while I’m on the toilet.”

Hair Care

“When my sister and her family took my mom to Disney World, my mom was concerned about her hair getting wet so she put a plastic bag on her head. ”

Over It All

“My sister and I with our daughters at the height of the denim overall shorts craze. We were so proud of our matching outfits.”
