Siblings
Jaws
“This is my brother. My older siblings took him down to the lake at our old cabin. He’s only in about a foot of water, but after telling him what the sign said and putting the fear of Jaws in him, they left him hanging for a photo opp…my 81 year old mom still gets mad when she sees this and defends herself of any prior knowledge of them taking him out for this picture.”

The Contingency Plan
“My little sister was complaining about wanting to swim but having no pool. I found her in the backyard like this.”

Choker
“Here is me, about 8 or 9 years old, in a photo booth with my baby brother. The camera timer was almost up, and as I was too little to hold him up, I had to grab him by the throat to make sure he was looking at the camera.”

Cowgirl
“This picture is of me and my twin brother. I guess my parents didn’t realize what my shirt said or that my brothers zipper was down.”

Pugsley and Wednesday
“My mom used to give us pet names (I’m not sure if that’s the name for it, but like when your parents have a special cutesy name for you that is embarrassing? I’m digressing.) Ours were Pugsley and Wednesday. She always wanted us to do this photo and we had flat out refused over and over again. One day in July, she starts braiding my hair and hands my younger brother a shoddily painted white shirt and told us to stand still “or else”. It was too late to attack her now so we relented. Those became the Holiday photos for at least 2 years. And she sent them to everyone. Coworkers, distant friends, family members. My 8th grade teacher got one, she still has it. It makes her laugh. Ugh.”

The Middle
“My 2 daughters came to see their brand new baby brother. The middle child was not to happy to give up her title as baby of the family!”

Close Encounters
“When I was cleaning the basement, I found a picture my sister drew when she was little of her sacrificing me to the alien gods.”
