Photos
The Joker
“In the photo is my grandpa holding me as a baby in 1989. After grandpa retired, he started a side job as a clown, where he’d go to birthday parties and do magic tricks. He also often wore his boxing shorts from his days as a heavyweight boxer at Michigan State. He was dressing up to entertain the grandkids that day, and the boxing/clown combination certainly made for an interesting photo.”

Snow Day
“This is a picture of little me on my first real snow day. What compelled my mother to buy this snowsuit, let alone dress me in it and bring me out in public, I have no idea.”

Quotable
“I had been bugging my son about getting his quote done for the yearbook before the deadline. He seemed to be ignoring me so I gave him some advice about what not to do. Apparently he listened this time!”

The Delivery Room Selfie
