Shock And Awe
“I told my 2 year old daughter to smile and this is the face she gave me. Luckily at the same time the baby decided to put a look of horror on her face too. I just couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the image I had captured.”

“Hey girls, stand by your dad while I take a photo! What the hell was my mom looking at when she took this photo? Apparently, not the fact that my dad appears to be naked with 2 little girls next to him!”

Knifeshaming
“This was back in the 80’s when child safety was of no concern to adults. We never figured out if my grandpa took this picture for posterity or to shame me for not being able to safely use a large knife at 6 years-old. (Knowing him, my money’s on the latter.)”

The Fall Guy
“My son and I went on a white water rafting excursion this summer. Clearly I was a bit nervous about going over the 15 foot water fall. I didn’t realize how terrified I looked until this photo was posted by the rafting company back at the store.”

Body Rock
“Back in the 80’s a body wave permanent hairstyle seemed to be the rage. In hindsight, I’m glad that era has passed on. I have a few more like this, but probably none that better captured the 80’s fashion like this one.”

That Guy
“During the summer of 1989, my BFF and I were staying on the beach with her parents. We were both 16. We spent the morning in the hotel’s pool, where this older man kept watching us and grinning. Later that afternoon, we were dressed and ready to go out, but first we stopped at the Tiki Bar near the pool to take some pics of each other in our totally 80s outfits (yes, I realize my outfit and hair here could absolutely stand alone in their awkwardness, but I digress). Wouldn’t you know, the same older man showed up and stood behind me, still grinning, while my BFF took my picture. I don’t know if he was being truly creepy, or if he was just an odd old guy who got a kick out of the two teenyboppers at the pool and all the giggling we no doubt did, but it sure made for an awkward photo!”

From The Waist Up
“My mom wanted to take pictures the night before my cousins wedding that I was going to be in. She said I didn’t need to put on the pants because she was only taking it waist up.
