Potpourri
“The year was 1992. The place was Olan Mills. I’m the one with glasses, braces and the mushroom cut. My sister and I were wearing matching dresses my grandmother made. There is so much going on in this picture, I don’t even know where to start.”

Beltboy
“This is my pre-school picture. I had a fit and would not get my picture taken unless I could put my belt on my head. So my mom did what she had to do.”

Oh, Shirt
“My 14 year old daughter forgot it was school picture day. Normally would have fixed her hair and dressed nice. On this day she wore a Nike shirt that said ‘Just Do It.’ Good thing for us, her hair covered the rest of the shirt and only left a few letters visible.”

Nightmare On Sesame Street
“This was at my elementary school in Japan in 1991. A bunch of characters from a nearby Sesame Street theme park came one afternoon in 1991 to entertain the kids. My mom took this picture thinking I would be excited to meet Ernie. Clearly I was horrified.”

Potty Training
“I think I was about 18 months old when my mother took this picture. I had climbed into the toilet on my own. My parents were a little upset because I was wearing my new leather shoes and my mother thought if she flushed I would get scared but I just giggled and smiled!”
