Locked In
“I had a third-grade class assignment to illustrate a problem and a solution. My bratty four-year-old sister was my biggest issue at the time. Since I couldn’t give her to another family I decided locking her in her room would be the next best thing. I can’t believe the teacher gave me a red smiley face.”

“A dinosaur-themed party with a red velvet volcano-shaped cake makes his older brother’s 4th birthday a bit more scary than intended.”

Poster Kids
“Typical gifts from an out-of-touch dad. And yes, the pot leaf poster was a gift to my 5 year old brother. I got the ‘Hang in there!’ kitty.”

Grandma’s Grab
“Getting ready to take a memorable photo when Grandma reaches for her granddaughter’s hand just as my uncle snaps the picture. It looks like she’s grabbing at her grandson’s crotch. Lol. This is one for the books.”

Jingle Breath
“My son decided to have a cat bell for a snack. He took the bell right off the collar of the cat and swallowed it. We took him to the ER for surgery, but while we were waiting, all the nurses got a chuckle out of listening to him take deep breaths.”

Nine To Five
“This is me at the age of 10. For some bizarre reason I wanted to be a ‘business woman’ for Halloween complete with lens-less frames and an attache case to collect candy in. I dunno, maybe I thought it was scary. My brother was less creative and wanted to be a ghost. The black marker rimmed mouth hole bled all over his actual mouth, which I thought was quite amusing.”

Leave The Stain, Cover My Name
“Back in 4th grade, I was too young to know how to do laundry. Here we are at a family outing taking. Mother had dressed me in my nice stained shirt with my name on it. But for some reason, we don’t want anyone to know who I am, so let’s cover up my name and leave the stain. Gonna have to check all my old pics now and see how many my clothes are stained. No wonder I never got any dates.”

A Frown For The Yearbook
“So my son hasn’t ever really been a fan of photos, but when it comes to school pictures in particular, he hates them. In all honesty, this an improvement from last year. By grade 8 maybe we’ll manage a smile.”
