Recreating The Awkwardness
“Recently, when all my siblings and I were together for the weekend we decided to recreate this photo from 1992. My brother In the rugby shirt used blue fabric paint to make an exact match to his original shirt, the brother next to him is wearing the same hat from the original picture, and my sister in the back used medical tape to make the stripes on her shirt. Good times!”

Children Of The Corn
“I grew up on a farm in rural South Dakota, and my parents took this photo of me (left) and my brother and sister during the 1990 harvest. I was full of nervous tics back then, puffing my cheeks out and tugging at my already-too small shorts. This past weekend was the 25-year anniversary of that photo, and it was a rare occasion where the whole family was together. My brother, sister, and I stood in about the same place on the farm to recreate this gem, with me wearing my mother’s tank top and dad’s swimming trunks.”

Three Men And A Baby
“My younger sister and brother joined me to recreate a photo from 1988, the year my brother was born. My younger brother is around 250 pounds today, but that didn’t stop him from climbing atop my sister’s lap with a bottle in mouth.”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“My sister, cousin, and I grew up together and our parents were always taking pictures of us doing weird stuff. We have no idea why my cousin is in the scary clown make-up, who did it, or why she is just holding that apple. The hardest part of the re-creation was my sister – who is obviously no longer a baby. She wore a flesh-colored spandex suit and an adult diaper. She couldn’t get her feet up by her face though, so we cropped out most of her body.”

Rain Check
After an 18 month engagement we finally celebrated our wedding day, albeit in rainy conditions. Our photographer suggested a shot with umbrellas and told our bridesmaids and groomsmen to act as if they were talking amongst themselves. Eoin clearly did not buy in to this and was unable to hide his displeasure. Instead of making an excuse or apologising for his grimace, when asked about this photo he replied with the following “the guy on the right can’t have said something that funny and some of the bridesmaids clearly aren’t talking to anyone at all”. We’re so glad that Eoin was a part of our special day.

Jaws
“This is my brother. My older siblings took him down to the lake at our old cabin. He’s only in about a foot of water, but after telling him what the sign said and putting the fear of Jaws in him, they left him hanging for a photo opp…my 81 year old mom still gets mad when she sees this and defends herself of any prior knowledge of them taking him out for this picture.”

Baldies
“The boys wanted a haircut just like dad and grandpa. Mom just shook her head.”

Choker
“Here is me, about 8 or 9 years old, in a photo booth with my baby brother. The camera timer was almost up, and as I was too little to hold him up, I had to grab him by the throat to make sure he was looking at the camera.”

Recurring Themes
“My daughter’s teacher in kindergarten helped her write this little note for me for Mother’s Day. Do you notice a recurring theme? I suppose I should be flattered that she thought I only looked half my age!”
