Siblings
Duck, Duck, Goose
“We waited in line at a photo booth for a siblings shot. I heard a scream from inside the curtain. 3 minutes later this pops out.”

Top Dog
“This photo is of my father-in-law, his sister, and their dog when they were kids. The dog was very loved by their mother and she thought it needed to be included in the background of her children. She loved the dog so much that he is even covering up part of her son.”

Mixed Emotions
“My kids all were pretty excited about going back to school. However, I think the nerves got to my 1st grader and she cried about everything that morning. Back to school picture gold. She ended up having a great day, but my second grader who was most excited out of the three said it was ‘boring.'”

All Aboard
“This was the first and and only year my sister and I were in dance classes. Please note: In the real world, I’ve never been on Amtrak with a conductor that wore this outfit. Sadly.”

May Or May Not Have
“This is an attempt at a lovely family picture for our church’s registry. I may or may not have pinched my sister mid photo shoot.”

Renaissance Regrets
“I lived in Luxembourg as a kid so my family did a lot of traveling in the five years we lived there. In looking through the pictures, it was obvious that my siblings and I were not happy campers on this trip to Italy as we all refused to smile in every picture. I’m sure my Dad thought it was hilarious to have his eight-year-old daughter pose in front of a fat naked man sitting on a turtle.
The statue is ‘The Fountain of Bacchus’, sculpted in 1560 by Valerio Cioli. He used Duke Cosimo I’s court dwarf as the model for Bacchus. If you want to see the statue today, or take your own picture with it, it’s at the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy.”

Maroon 5
“My mother must have ransacked the Sears catalog to purchase these Sears Tuff Skins maroon denim outfits (with white top-stitching) for all five of us kids. She got matching outfits for herself and Dad, who aren’t in the photo. Then we all went to Six Flags Over Georgia, where we were mistaken for – on multiple occasions – either a gospel group or a a country music band. As the eldest child (12) and only girl…I was completely mortified and spent most of the day dragging 20 feet behind my family. Flash forward 44 years and it is now my brothers’ and my most “precious” (and totally hilarious) memory! Embrace the awkward!”
