On The Rocks
“My parents wanted to showcase our life in London (American military assignment) for our family Christmas photo, so we all wore matching Hard Rock Cafe of London sweatshirts. I did not like how the sweatshirt felt and pouted throughout the photo session, and my parents were so upset when they developed the photos weeks later (before the digital camera era!). I was in trouble for years for ruining the beloved family Christmas photo.”

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.”
