The Birthday Chicken

“We were at a restaurant in 2000 and there was a birthday in another area of the restaurant and the man in the chicken suit was entertaining at the party and going on a bathroom break. My father asked if he could take a picture of him with us, he said “sure” and then my father handed me the camera and told me take a picture of your siblings with the chicken. So I did it.”

Turkey Day

“It is me with my mom and dad in 1985, taken at a restaurant in St. Paul, MN on Thanksgiving day for their special holiday buffet. I’m the mortified teenager and on the back of the photo, my mom wrote ‘Who is the real turkey?'”

I Ruined Thanksgiving

“Every year for Thanksgiving my brother and I drink several cocktails and deep fry the turkey. This year I decided to brine the turkey in apple cider. Results were the fry oil burnt the sugars in the cider turning the turkey black and my grandmother declaring that I ruined Thanksgiving. Cheers!”

Leotard Chic

“I spent much time in a leotard during the late 1970s/early 89s, evidently much to the chagrin of my grandmother and sister, both giving me the stink eye here. Mum seems not to care. Thanks, mum.
