Insane Clown Posse
“This is my husband and his younger brother dressed as clowns. Their Mother (my Mother-in-law) decided that for Mother’s Day one year that she would dress her 2 sons as clowns and have their portraits taken. So, she proceeded to dress them up in homemade outfits and her own makeup. On the way to Sears, the younger brother was crying hysterically and that is why he is not a “happy clown,” and his face is smeared. I have this picture hanging in our hallway of our home just to remind myself that I am now a part of a dysfunctional but awesome family! Now we have two sons together ages 3 and 4… question is, should I carry on the tradition?”

Jungle John
“Back in 95, a traveling zookeeper (Jungle John) came to my cousin’s birthday party and all the kids took pictures with him and his snake. Needless to say, I wasn’t into it. And I’m afraid of snakes and men in safari hats to this day.”

Behind The Awkwardness: Over The Edge
“Went on a trip to the Foz de Iguacu, which is Brazil’s version of Niagara Falls. There, as with most touristy places, you can take a photo in front of a green screen on which you are later super-imposed against the falls. This photo left by previous visitors caught my eye because it’s so incredibly awkward and un-politically correct (the thought of tossing a woman in a wheelchair over the falls), but I guess I kind of admire the couple for their very offbeat sense of humor.”

Flower Child
“This is me at four years old. My parents took my two sisters and I to a place to get our pictures taken and these were the props chosen. My two younger sisters each have a version of this picture as well. Why, I don’t know… and don’t forget about the pot I’m sitting in.”

Public Admirer
“That’s my little sister in the middle, it was her 4th birthday party. The boy behind her was her first stalker. When we moved away the next year, he told her as soon as he was old enough to drive he was coming for her with a moving truck to bring her back.”
