“I’m safely assuming drugs were the reason that led my parents to have a t-shirt of my face made back in the 80’s. Now, it’s my son’s favorite thing to wear.”

The Great Halloween Tantrum
“I wanted a harem girl costume I saw at Sears but my parents refused to basically get me a slutty costume at 7 years old (which I was totally sure I could pull off, btw) so as a ‘compromise’ my mom bought me this t shirt and hat and I had a full-on tantrum on the front lawn that was so loud neighbors came out of their homes to check out the caterwauling child.”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“Recently, when all my siblings and I were together for the weekend we decided to recreate this photo from 1992. My brother In the rugby shirt used blue fabric paint to make an exact match to his original shirt, the brother next to him is wearing the same hat from the original picture, and my sister in the back used medical tape to make the stripes on her shirt. Good times!”

The Auditor
“Found a childhood photo of mine… kind of explains the smartass label my parents gave me when I was younger.”

Children Of The Corn
“I grew up on a farm in rural South Dakota, and my parents took this photo of me (left) and my brother and sister during the 1990 harvest. I was full of nervous tics back then, puffing my cheeks out and tugging at my already-too small shorts. This past weekend was the 25-year anniversary of that photo, and it was a rare occasion where the whole family was together. My brother, sister, and I stood in about the same place on the farm to recreate this gem, with me wearing my mother’s tank top and dad’s swimming trunks.”
