Kids
Crappy Birthday
“It was a custom that the cousins would give out the birthday spankings, but apparently for my birthday that year, it got a little rough. I think I look terrified. It’s like a scene out of “Lord of the Flies.” Notice the John Travolta poster in the background, and the fact that my brother is laughing maniacally and holding a leather belt.”

Dee Dee And Me
“My girlfriend has always has a fear of clowns, I found this in some photos her mum gave her. Dee Dee the clown was his name and now we know where the fear started! 1993.”

Tape
“My father took this picture of my brothers and me. He’s from Slovakia and English is his second language. Maybe he couldn’t read the sign.”

Background Energy
“1991 was a wild time to be alive. I may not have had any control over how my mother styled those bangs but I did have control over that sweet, sweet portrait background choice. Also, I’m not sure what’s going on with my teeth.”

An Easter Possession
“This photo has baffled my family since it was taken on Easter 1984. When my mom got the photo back, she immediately had me try to pose like this and I couldn’t. We’ve never figured it out. No photoshop, and I assure you I am neither possessed by a demon nor anywhere near that flexible.”

All Aboard
“This was the first and and only year my sister and I were in dance classes. Please note: In the real world, I’ve never been on Amtrak with a conductor that wore this outfit. Sadly.”

Relief Appearance
“My aunt and my grandpa on a road trip in the mid 90s, grandma took the picture and wasn’t so aware of her surroundings.”

Helmet On The Head
“My grandma’s toilet was scary high to me when I was a kid and I just couldn’t use it because I was certain I’d fall off. My dad had the perfect solution for me: his motorcycle helmet. So here I am in a helmet, holding on for dear life.”
