Siblings
Scouts Honor
“My brother and I got our pictures taken in our classy boy scout uniforms. The photographer asked us to look to our right, expecting us to turn our heads and look right. My brother and I kept looking forward and only moved our eyes, assuming that was what he meant. The awkwardness in the photo explains how confused we were by his direction.”

Lapbrother
“The fact that my sister is superimposed as a giant ghostly head distracts from the more disturbing details– like the fact that I am sitting on my older brother’s lap and holding hands with him, and that we also have matching glasses. I don’t remember a lot about the day that we took this photo, but I do remember thinking that my brown striped sweater was my ‘cool’ sweater and I insisted on wearing it. The fact that my collar had a longer wingspan than a bald eagle is a nice finishing touch.”

The Sea Was Angry That Day
“This was taken on a boat trip in England in the mid 90’s. Not sure whether it was the rough waters or the matching outfits that was making my little sister so unimpressed.”

Squeeze Play
“My siblings didn’t like me very much (I’m the one trapped underneath). This happened more than I cared for.”

A Christmas Story
“So many amazing things about this picture. I am the beauty with the middle part bangs accompanied by my life size Barbie. My mom is clearly feeling what every mother on Christmas feels while my dad is 90’s fabulous.”

The Final Edition
“It was 1988 and these novelty photos were all the rage at whatever theme park we were visiting that summer. It was hot, our bowl cuts were wilting, and even Kermit was over it.”
