17 Is The New 40
“This magnificent awkward moment was my high school graduation photo from 1997. I remember thinking to myself ‘don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t fall!’ while precariously balanced on what I can only assume were old books under a wrinkled drop cloth. When the photos were sent to me I was too mortified to give them to anyone; in fact I still have the full sheets of them in a bin in my basement. I’m actually 17 in this photo, and I just recently turned 40. Not everyone gets to experience their 40s twice in life. I just happened to do it the first time when I was in my teens.”

I Fold
“This was taken after church one Saturday. My parents look like they don’t want to be there. My Uncle looks like he’s surprised to be there, (which might explain why he’s holding a folder), and me and my brother are just there.”

“This was taken right after little sister was born. Big sister was not happy about it!”

Twice As Nice
“My baby photo taken in Springfield, MO in 1984. I always wondered why we had a printed version of this picture. This was the best one they got?”

She’s Got The Power
“This was taken by a professional photographer for my dance class in the late 90’s. Disney clearly missed out on a star and her power stance.”

Red Christmas
“That’s me in the lap of a suburban DC mall Santa circa Christmas, 1976 when I was 4. I would love to know why Santa’s face matches his suit.”
