Trouble With The Pose
“My mother took this picture and clearly I was going for the ‘hand on the hip’ pose’, but missed my mark. I don’t know why Mom didn’t point out that it looks like I’m punching myself. (And this picture was framed at my grandparent’s house.)”

Scary Christmas
“I’ve had this photo in a keepsake box for years. Two years ago I posted it on Facebook for Mother’s Day with a nice caption about my Mom. I didn’t notice the ‘serial killer’ in the background until Facebook prompted me to tag him…”

Cowgirl
“Back in the days of glamour shots, a friend and I decided to surprise our husbands with some photos of ourselves. When we got to the studio, I saw this hat and jacket and thought, ‘my husband’s a Cowboy’s fan! He’ll like this!’ Believe it or not, he kept this photo on his desk at work for years. He must really love me!”

Rudolph’s Last Stop
“As my cousin was looking for pictures from my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, she ran across this photo of me and my Dad. I have absolutely no clue why we are holding a deer leg.”

Lean In
“I don’t know what this pose is all about. It looks like our backs hurt or we are all going to puke in the next 10 seconds. All my friends say it looks like an advert for a family-TV-Show in the early 90s but I think the photo is from 2001.”

Octo-Grandma
“This is my Googoo (grandmother) in 1980 debuting the spider costume she made. Everyone in our family has gotten to wear this in at some point in our lives (either by choice or a very strong recommendation from the designer).”

Upstaging The Cowgirl
“Early on in my relationship with my better half, my boyfriend took my little sister out trick-or-treating. As this is the before photo, it doesn’t give away that she came home tantrum-angry because everyone ooh-ed and aah-ed over his costume all evening and didn’t say a word to the cowgirl.”
