School Photos
My Many Fashion Mistakes
“This was me in 8th grade, in ’92 or ’93. I don’t know what is worse: the perm, the ribbon, the tucked-in shirt that no sensible middle schooler would ever wear, the black shoes with white socks, the way-too-obvious black watch, the ’97 for my graduating year or the fact that I was trying to look cool. Epic fail!”

My Son’s Inheritance
“The photo on the left is my son’s first grade photo. We DID do a retake, but the photographer was so tickled by the photo that he allowed us to keep the original! The photo on the right is his Dad and my husband, Doug. Looks like great first grade pictures are biological!”

“My mom saved this for some reason. I don’t know whether to be mortified by it or love it.”

Little Off The Front
“I decided to give my bangs a trim for school pictures. Mom sent me to school the next day anyway! Life lesson learned!”

Wigging Out
“This is my sister’s school photo in 1971. My Mom insisted that she wear and wig and as you can imagine, she wasn’t very happy about it. It was of course great to see your older sister get some pay back for all the torture she had caused me during that period.”
