The Little Engine That Couldn’t
“My sister performing in our elementary school play ‘The Little Engine That Could’ in the early nineties. She was the ‘happiest birthday train’ and she nailed it.”

Side Eye
“Over 60 years ago, my parents had a picture done professionally of my two older sisters and me. This was one of the ‘proofs’ they received. My two older sisters have now passed. I showed this to a friend who sent me one of your cards and suggested I send this to you. My middle sister had no idea why she had the ‘sideways’ eyes, but it has brought a lot of humor to our family for many years.”

Born This Way
“Our mom who is a photographer thought it was the cutest thing to wear tutus and pretend we were ballet dancers. She could force us to wear those and pose like that, but she can’t force our expressions!”

We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Wagon
“My husband is in the back, his brother is in the front, and their English mastiff is in the middle. They took the photos in a mall and according to him, ‘Nothing in this photo made sense then and it sure doesn’t make sense now.'”

Golden Girl
“I always felt like my older brother was the golden child. And then one day in 1981 my grandfather called to talk to ME! My brother wasn’t happy.”

Holy Roller
“I hated taking pictures when I was little, especially ones where we had to dress up. I told my mom I was done and she didn’t believe me. I didn’t mean to make this face. It just sort of happened on its own. So this is the Christmas card she got.”

Meh Brother
“This is me and my brother. He was 15 when I was born and clearly I wasn’t sure about him.”

The Humpty Dance
“This is me and my sister @alysandra in 1993 at Santa’s Land, a Christmas and nursery-rhyme themed park in Putney, VT. We used to go pretty much every summer until we were 8 and 9. Here we are sitting with a giant Humpty Dumpty statue whose creepiness apparently was lost on us 3 and 4 year olds!”
