Siblings

Blinding Lights

“Our school had mid year friend group pics called ‘highlights.’ The highlight was a Venetian blind that had a color light behind you and you could choose your groups color. My sister and I were not popular so we decided to do the pic together because the colored Venetian backdrop was the coolest ever. Our brother was in basic training in the army at this time so we were EXTRA patriotic as a family and the Gulf War was happening. I left the house with the most epic bang curl your life has ever seen. I was 100% sure people would be passing notes about how I should pursue a career in cosmetology. We chose RED for our Venetian color because WE ARE FIRE. They hand the pics back in class weeks later and MY HEART SANK. It sank because the glorious bangs I had worked a full hour on and half a can of Aquanet had called flat on one side and captured my worst hair moment.”

Ballers

“I know that my in-laws were and still are into basketball, but I have always thought this photo was a little strange. Taken in ’91 or ’92 with my husband, his two brothers and his sister. My husband still doesn’t think there is anything odd about it, so we guess you’ll be the ones to decide which of us is right.”

“My sister obviously never picked on me and it’s unclear why my mom chose this photo to be in the family album for all these years.”
