My Sister Is A Centaur
“My sister and I had this photo taken as a gift for our parents in 1995. Little did we know it would turn out to be an optical illusion. I’m the one in the black sweater and blue jeans, but if you look at it just right, it appears that my sister is crunched up in a ball in the front, and I’m the black-clad mythical creature in the back.”

Hot Diggety Dog
“We were at a family hot dog roast and my aunt captured this unknowingly of my family and my grandmother. My aunt gave the picture to us as a Christmas gift. I noticed it as soon as I opened it but refrained from busting out laughing, and thanked my aunt graciously. My wife said in the vehicle after we left that it was a nice picture, I said take a look again and that’s when it hit her. It is now forever displayed in our kitchen!”

Playgirl
“The mustache was a bedtime prank. The tooth situation was from being seven years old. The Playboy shirt is a mystery. And the child in this photo is a girl.”

Where Are They Now?

Down The Middle
“It took my mom a good five minutes to realize what was awkward about this photo. My date really wasn’t extremely short. The photographer just decided to position him in between four guys all over six feet tall.”

The Bunny Lady
“I don’t remember taking this picture. I have no idea who this woman is, why she’s dressed like the Easter Bunny, or what she’s thinking to provoke that facial expression. I can only guess that this was some time during my sixth grade year and that it was so embarrassing, I blocked it from mind.”

The Longest Hug
“My brother would tease me all the time, so when mom said, ‘hug your brother’ this is what she got.”

The Nature Of The Beast
“It’s my girlfriend’s birthday today and her mom sent her an Edible Arrangement. Whoever transcribed her mother’s message must have been drunk.”
