‘My sister, brother, and I got this email from mom today. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

A Bunny Tail
‘We took a trip to ride the Texas State Railroad’s Easter Egg Express down in Rusk, TX. It was the first time my son had seen an Easter bunny up close, and he wasn’t too sure the bunny was legit. The fun continued because the bunny even road the 2 hour train ride with us.”

You Stole My Easter
‘I think I’m around 3 years old in this photo and my brother would have been around 7. Although I don’t remember anything about what was in those baskets, I do remember being tremendously upset that my brother had stolen mine and refused to give it back. My parents still say they were basically the same basket with maybe one or two things different, but even now I’m not buying it.”

Recreating The Sleepiness
“For our dad’s 80th birthday, we decided to recreate a picture of all 5 kids sleeping. Or pretending to sleep. I’m the baby who wouldn’t close her eyes for the picture. The best part is my two older sisters still wear matching pajamas, 45 years later!”

Chopped
“The 80’s were an experimental time for Dad when it came to facial hair. Here he is reading the Cabela’s catalog with my brother. I am not sure what the knife was for. I always wondered if his chin got cold.”

Recreating the Awkwardness
“The elf suit you see here was passed from me, to my younger sister, to finally our baby brother. Clearly we weren’t too happy with him that Christmas.We decided to recreate this touching photo for our parents this Christmas. Upon reflection, our mom said she found it a bit disconcerting that she continued to take the photo rather than save my sister from my brother’s death grip.”

The Loophole
“I hated my baby sister. I hated being dressed like her. I hated being forced to play with her. And when I was told not to hit her I found a loophole. We’re thick as thieves now. But then? I’d ripped her stupid blonde head off.”

Rick James
“That’s me when i was in the fifth grade. I begged my dad for that hair-style. We bought the beads and paid the lady at Fantastic Sams $80 to braid my hair and a tip. At the time, I was using organic shampoo. When i took the braids out several months later, my hair was covered in a strange film and swelled to a giant afro. I also shed three handfuls!”

Duck Date
“AFP Hall of Fame photo ‘Look Who’s Talking 2’ features me when I was seven years old. This photo I re-discovered today proves I was just as awkward when I was 15. My father was a magician back in the 70s and 80s, and since I looked just like him when he was younger, his friend thought it would be funny to recreate one of his publicity stills. I wasn’t really into the idea, since the duck wouldn’t hold still and the polyester tux was super itchy.”

You Are My Sunshine
“This what it looks like when 1979 meets a perm and then gets dressed up for a dance recital. Just another one of my weird recital costumes from that era (my previously published photo is in the AFP Hall of Fame – Tinseltown… my claim to fame!).”
