Mom & Dad
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.”

The Everyday Clown
“As a child, I would dress up as a clown whenever there was a reason to celebrate – in this case the birth of my younger brother.”

Fists Of Fury
“Palestine, Arkansas, early 90s. I got bullied a lot and when I asked my dad to teach me to defend myself he suggested we take Taekwondo together as a family. Our instructor told us the major appeal of taekwondo as a martial art was the “Intimidation Factor.” I think we pulled it off in this photo.”

The Silhouette
“My mom and dad in the late 80s. Apparently it was considered cutting edge to put your picture inside a silhouette of your son.”

The Honeymoon Phase
“Here’s a picture of my folks in 1981, captured a few weeks after having my older sister – they look thrilled.”

Party of Five
“That’s me in the middle. This was a promotional photo for my parents’ touring ventriloquism act in the late 90s. The vests were made just for the occasion.”

No Flipping
“Here’s my Mom and Dad in September 1970. This was always my favorite photo from their wedding because it’s just so cornball. You have to give credit to the photographer for the picture of my dad in the TV. This was years before Photoshop, so I’m not sure how the heck he pulled this trick off.”

Spitting Image
“Trying to take one of our first family photos and thought we’d get a little sappy…it didn’t sit well with our baby!”

“My family owned an Internet service provider when I was growing up, and this was our big promo shot.”

Daughter Brawl
“This pretty much sums up my childhood. I’m the blond on the left burying my head in my sister’s lap while she gets in a cheap shot. The youngest is fish-hooking my other sister while my mother looks on and laughs. My father is letting everyone know what his future looks like with four daughters like these.”
