Siblings
Portrait Of Despair
“My brother’s family. Only Mom could keep it together. The kids are grown now but I can still see the same personalities in them today! I love to look back at it when I need a laugh. Even the kids friends love it and tease them relentlessly! Thanks heavens they don’t have a copy of my family portrait. LOL.”
Anarchy
“Can’t explain anything about this picture of my grandfather with my little brothers as I was away at college. Apparently everything went straight to hell once I left home–maybe wearing clothes became optional. My mother must have taken this…I have no idea what she was thinking.”

Hey There, Lonely Teacher
“My newly single sister is concerned she’s putting off some seriously pathetic vibes after being slipped this note from one of her second-grade students.”

Requiem For A Betta
“I was about seven years old when my favorite betta fish died. I was so devastated that I insisted on hosting a full blown funeral for it. We dressed in all black and even said nice words. My mom took this photo in our back yard before we buried it. My older sister is trying her hardest not to laugh while I stood there holding my dead fish on a paper plate!”

Skinny Dippers
“Every year for swimming my brother and I take a family photo for the team pictures, but this year the crop job and my hair made it look like we were naked.”

Ringbearer Malfunction
“My brother’s bomb-disposal-robot ringbearer got a little too interested in me.”

Cracker Jerk
“My father was supposed to take my sister and I to get our pictures made. I am supposed to have on a matching jacket like my sister’s. He left it in the car and rather then admit he flubbed, he just told the photographer to let the picture roll. That is why I have my picture professionally made in a Cracker Jerk Tshirt. That and our mullettude makes this photo very awkward!”

Hand Replacement
“Mom posted a picture to Facebook and people asked what was wrong with my hand.”

The Mummy
“This is a photo of my younger sister, (mummified), my older brother, (proud as ever), and me (“I didn’t do it”). My favorite part of this picture is how, even though you can’t see my little sister’s face, you can tell she is smiling in a very “TA-DA!” way, and I can only imagine how proud she was to be our model. I don’t remember when this was taken, but I can look at the craftsmanship in the placement of the streamers, and the excellent color blocking techniques, and I know that’s my fabulous work – my brother must have been the project manager/supervisor. My siblings and I have talked about recreating this picture for our mom now that we are all in our 20’s, but it has been really hard to drum up this collection of oddly specific t-shirts.”
