Hello Dolly
“My mom gave my dad a Dolly Parton cake for his birthday in 1984. He was not amused for some reason, even though I know he loves Dolly and apparently he didn’t wear shirts in the 80s.”

Animal Planet
“This is the photo my mom used to send out with her annual Christmas letter in 2006. It’s my dad, mom, myself, and my brother. And ALL the pets! None of which my dad claimed, I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to claim us either.”

Glamorous Shots
“I was 12 years old and wanted ‘Glamour Shots.’ My parents wanted to save money so we did them at home and this is what we came up with.”

On A Pedestal
“While I was away at college my family had to take a portrait for a church directory, so they took a framed photo of me. It was the photographer’s great idea to put me on a pedestal. Also, my Dad and brother had been fighting over something trivial, my Mom was annoyed, and my youngest brother habitually refused to smile for any picture.”
