The Lemonade Incident
“This was the unfortunate result of a 6 year old’s spelling mistake. My daughter and my niece had the idea that they wanted to make a lemonade stand. Being the innovative 6 year old she is, my daughter felt that it would be even better to make it an online lemonade stand. Naturally they needed a great design and catchy name for their webpage… this is what she came up with. For a couple days, she carried this around to show everyone we know and each time she presented it I laughed so hard that I cried. She kept asking me why I was laughing, so I just said that it was because it made me that happy to see what great job she did. (I have a feeling that that website domain may have already been taken.)”
My Sister Is A Centaur
“My sister and I had this photo taken as a gift for our parents in 1995. Little did we know it would turn out to be an optical illusion. I’m the one in the black sweater and blue jeans, but if you look at it just right, it appears that my sister is crunched up in a ball in the front, and I’m the black-clad mythical creature in the back.”

Hot Diggety Dog
“We were at a family hot dog roast and my aunt captured this unknowingly of my family and my grandmother. My aunt gave the picture to us as a Christmas gift. I noticed it as soon as I opened it but refrained from busting out laughing, and thanked my aunt graciously. My wife said in the vehicle after we left that it was a nice picture, I said take a look again and that’s when it hit her. It is now forever displayed in our kitchen!”

Playgirl
“The mustache was a bedtime prank. The tooth situation was from being seven years old. The Playboy shirt is a mystery. And the child in this photo is a girl.”

Down The Middle
“It took my mom a good five minutes to realize what was awkward about this photo. My date really wasn’t extremely short. The photographer just decided to position him in between four guys all over six feet tall.”
