Directory Assistance

The Standoff Before Christmas
“Christmas 1996. My mom was clearly done with shenanigans and was making a final plea for me to ‘Just take one nice family picture, darn it!'”

On A Pedestal
“While I was away at college my family had to take a portrait for a church directory, so they took a framed photo of me. It was the photographer’s great idea to put me on a pedestal. Also, my Dad and brother had been fighting over something trivial, my Mom was annoyed, and my youngest brother habitually refused to smile for any picture.”
