Nurpled
“My son recently celebrated his 8th grade confirmation in our small-town church. I didn’t notice the personal space violation imposed upon his brother until I went through them later in the day, and had already shared them with our entire family. I love this child.”

The Hidden Arm Trick
“This our Christmas Card photo from 1976, of my older sister, my brother and myself. My brother had his arms around us, making it look like he has no arms. We laugh about it every year.”

Leave It To The Pros
“This photo is an attempt to look like a professional photo that my parents saw in a local photographer’s ad. They wanted a black background with my father’s hands on my shoulders, and it was supposed to be zoomed in to just my head and his hands. Our attempt was a fail, obviously, as my mother did not know how to work the zoom function. We ended up with this.”

Air Supply
“My two brothers and I were gathered to celebrate our father’s 60th birthday. He had received a small portable TV as a gift, which was nifty back in those days. It was wrapped, obviously, in a plastic bag. When it came time for a family photo, our father, rarely one to simply smile for the camera, grabbed for the nearest prop, and created one of our favorite memories of our dad.”

“Just found this photo in my mum’s kitchen. WTF is my dad doing in the background?”

Pity Party Of One
“My older son was graduating from kindergarten and our younger son was not happy that he was not the center of attention. He REFUSED to stand and pose next to his brother and sister and decided instead to have a pout session all by himself.”

The Big Easy
“In 1995 mom and dad brought us kids, (ages 7 and 10) to New Orleans. We had a normal family vacation other than the Saturday night trip to Bourbon Street. We later clearly read the sign that was in the background of the picture that dad had us pose in front of. He thought it was hilarious!”

Growing Out Of It
“My children have a photo with Santa and the Easter Bunny for every year of their life. Clearly, they no longer participate with the same enthusiasm they once did. Now, they only go for the free meal at the mall.”

Carved Up
“My mother-in-law forced my wife and her two sisters to get into holiday spirit and carve pumpkins. Their expressions range from ‘angry’ to ‘I will kill you in your sleep.’ My wife is on the right and she clearly wasn’t having it.”
