Break Point

“This is my birthday party (I’m the one blowing up the red balloon) in the mid 70s at the McDonalds in Richmond, BC. My mom looks like she’s had enough.”

“My husband was taking pictures of us while our dogs ran around in the backyard. As I held our son, my husband kept saying, “Now that’s a good one!” I instantly knew what was going on, but it was too late. Our little border collie has a problem with humping our Great Pyrenees, so it wasn’t a shock to us. It just made for an awkward family photo.”

Clown Town

“Here’s a picture of me that my mom took after giving me a new toy. Not sure why I don’t like clowns now. Philadelphia, 1970.”

We’ll Always Have Paris

“My son and I went to Paris for the weekend. He wanted to run and chase the pigeons but I wanted him to take a photo and he started having a tantrum and hit me in the face with his head.”

The Original Tan Mom

“My mother was so tan, she looked like a member of a different family. On another note, our dog ‘Snowball’ seemed pleased.”

Stranger Things

“Me, my mom, and a stranger in a mask at a Halloween party when I was 4. Nice to see my mom smiling and having a good time while I was completely freaking out.”
