Top Dog

“This photo is of my father-in-law, his sister, and their dog when they were kids. The dog was very loved by their mother and she thought it needed to be included in the background of her children. She loved the dog so much that he is even covering up part of her son.”

Glamour Girls Day

“My mom thought it would be nice to take my sister and I for a girl’s day at the local glamour shots. She didn’t always have the best ideas. Honestly, topless with a pink boa was not what my sister and I had in mind. But she genuinely thought this was pretty and proceeded to hang it in our family home for all to see for years. Love ya mom.”

In Hot Water

“When I was a kid, my mom managed a business called ‘In Hot Water’ where you could go and rent out a hot tub in a private room on an hourly basis. This was the photo they used for the ads. That’s me and my brother in the tub. No idea who the older man is though.”

The Delicates

“I remember very little of my childhood but here I am @ 3 yrs napping in the dryer. I am told that sneaking a nap in the dryer while the clothing was still hot was a tradition of mine…I’m just glad my foot was poking out, notifying everyone NOT to shut the door.”

Nightmare On Sesame Street

“My parents took us to a show that was ‘supposed’ to be Sesame Street-themed. Needless to say, the costumes did not live up to expectations. That is supposed to be Big Bird and Cookie Monster behind me. It looks like characters from a horror film.”
