“Saw this drawn with chalk at a local elementary school. First thought was “How cool, Spongebob and Patrick!”. And then I took a second look…”

Photoshop In The 60’s
“My grandparents decided to have a family photo done many years ago when my aunt was out of town. So, 5 of the 6 children were present for the photo. They decided to later add a photo (a bad photo) of my aunt to perfect the picture and complete the family photo. Honestly, you can barely tell it was even altered.”

My Many Fashion Mistakes
“This was me in 8th grade, in ’92 or ’93. I don’t know what is worse: the perm, the ribbon, the tucked-in shirt that no sensible middle schooler would ever wear, the black shoes with white socks, the way-too-obvious black watch, the ’97 for my graduating year or the fact that I was trying to look cool. Epic fail!”

Floater
“My nephew was running in a little marathon for his school. He kind of jumped to change lanes and this is the photo of him floating above the track.”

My Pink Nightmare
“A friend of mine captioned this photo perfectly: ‘Chicken pox, no teeth, an ugly costume…still, the show must go on!'”

Sibling Drama
“While grocery shopping I bought the two older kids lollipops. The the baby wanted one of his own. This was the sibling drama that ensued!”

High Beams
“For Spring Kindergarten pictures, my normally photogenic son decided he wanted to ‘smile really, really hard!’ His words, not mine. Mission accomplished.”

Maroon 5
“My mother must have ransacked the Sears catalog to purchase these Sears Tuffskins maroon denim outfits (with white top-stitching) for all five of us kids. She got matching outfits for herself and Dad, who aren’t in the photo. Then we all went to Six Flags Over Georgia, where we were mistaken for – on multiple occasions – either a gospel group or a a country music band. As the eldest child (12) and only girl…I was completely mortified and spent most of the day dragging 20 feet behind my family. Flash forward 44 years and it is now my brothers’ and my most ‘precious’ (and totally hilarious) memory! Embrace the awkward!”
