The Christening
“This was my Christening, June 1971. I’m the baby obviously, my Godmother is holding me, my parents are next to her. Their hideous outfits aren’t the “awkward” part of this photo. In the background, my grandmother is pulling my sister’s hair while my brother is recovering from a smack! All of this right on the front steps of a church.”

It’s A Miracle
“This is a photo of my husband (standing on the right) at age 9 attentively watching his Grandmother change his young cousin’s diaper. I can’t decide what’s more hilarious: the fact that he’s wearing a dust mask, or the open jar of miracle whip on the table. LOL!!”

Brother Nicholas
“My father dabbled in ventriloquism. Apparently having four kids wasn’t enough. He kept his little friends in the closest and I told all my friends my dad played with dolls. Don’t worry, Nicholas, (the actual dummy pictured), got all of our hand me downs.”
