Mom & Dad

Garden Party

“I am the baby on the grass here. And contrary to what it looks like, I was sleeping. Mom had brought me home from the hospital in Mobile, Alabama back in 1967 (the only girl) and Dad wanted to get us all in a photo. Dad staged that ghastly floral placement but he ended up owning a very successful landscaping company for over three decades so he CLEARLY stepped up his game.”

The Double Bird

“I ruined every shot in this photoshoot. Some had the finger barely popping out, one photo featured just one middle finger and in others I was proudly flipping off in full force. The photographer didn’t say a word to my parents.”

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.”

Floracular Spectacular

“My parents were married in 1981 and my mom wanted a picture of her looking down at her bouquet with a double-exposure of my dad’s head floating above her like she was thinking of him. Mom cried when she saw the resulting photo, but we all laugh over it now.”

Meet The Mullets

“This is a photo of my parents and I when I was about two years old. My hair grew in as a mullet and both of my parents had them as well. All my friends die laughing and think it’s fake when I show it to them.”
