Pets
Emo Duck
“I was an emo teen with a pet duck named “lil Steve-o”. My mom reluctantly let me keep the duck for a few days before she took him to a friend’s farm so he could live with other ducks. After that, I was even more tortured of a soul.”

Balancing Act
“Growing up in a rural area of Washington state, we had lots of chickens and our mom thought it would be cute to get a shot with them on our heads. I also forgot to zip up my pants. Good times.”

Feline Focus
“I once visited my mom’s house with my new baby. Here’s a great photo mom took that day of me, my dad, my brother, my sister, the top of my baby’s head (look closely at the bottom of the photo) and lots of cats.”

The Stand In
“Beijing, 1986. I really (really) wanted a dog as a kid, but we moved around a lot. After a particularly weepy episode, this was the next best thing my parents could do.”
