Birthdays
Split Ends
“My ex-husband surprised me after work with a birthday cake. I wanted a picture of my son and I for the scrapbook so was leaning forward to get closer to him. I had not been to the hairdresser’s in 2 years and had age inappropriate hair at the time. The candles took care of that and luckily, my husband managed to put out the flames with his bare hands once he realized what was happening. Of course, he missed the shot of me screaming my head off. I’ve been going for regular trims since.”

The Birthday Girl
“This was taken for my mom’s December birthday — notice the weird birthday cake with Christmas trees on it. She looks thrilled. One hand with a death grip on my brother (who thought he was the ultimate warrior from WWE) and the other with a cigarette to take the edge off.”

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.”

Balloon Baby
“This photo of my 6 month old brother, taken on my second birthday. Apparently my siblings thought it would be hilarious to tie balloons to all of his limbs and my parents were just like, ‘whatever.’ He was the eighth child.”

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.”

Blowhards
“My Dad’s 85th birthday. Took a picture outside the restaurant which was in a very artsy part of town. Wasn’t until I posted it on Facebook that a friend pointed out that the writing on the wall behind us was hilarious.”
