Little Red Rider
“My mother like to produce a staged family Christmas card each year starring me and my six siblings. This particular year she had us pose in clothing and props that suggested our interests and talents. I am the youngest one dressed as a horseback rider. I think I had probably been on a horse once, but you don’t have a lot of interests and talents when you’re four.”

The Saddest Year
“2016 was apparently a rough year for my child. This is the best photo they took. She even flipped over the darn apple.”

Top Gun
“We took the family to Washington D.C. and went into the interactive flight simulator at the Air and Space museum. We thought we were taking a leisurely flight through space but what the operators failed to mention was the high speed barrel roll at the end. Luckily, the camera caught the moment.”

Elephant Walk
“Just a photo of my brothers randomly hanging out in a park with an elephant. Safety wasn’t really a big thing in Spain in the 70s.”

Maybe Showers
“Our then 5 year-old daughter didn’t want any part of the baby shower for my sister-in-law that I dragged her to. She was acting up all day and at this point, I had given up.”

Room Service
“My mom bought a portrait package for me and my little sister and the photos were taken in the sketchiest motel ever. Even Raggedy Ann looks concerned.”

The Haunted Cathedral
“Our annual Christmas violin recital took place in a big Catholic cathedral and afterwards, my mom tried to get me and my sisters to stand together for a photo. But the youngest dramatically collapsed to the floor out of protest while I stood in the back with my arms crossed, done with both the recital and my family. The lighting and our expressions made the whole thing look less “holiday recital” and more like a horror movie.”

Dread Fred
“There was a meet and greet with Fred Flintstone at a Shopper’s Drug Mart and I got to sit on his lap.”
