Dazed And Confused
“What’s confusing (echoed by the bewildered looks on our faces) is that *this* is the photo that our parents chose to buy. How bad were the others?

The Blowout
“My mom and aunt were always into the big huge 80’s hair, but seriously wtf is on my head? My aunt did my hair, and my mom loved it enough to allow me to get professional pictures taken.”

The Exploding Frame
“My mom arranged for a professional photographer to take a family portrait and my dad said he would take care of getting it framed. He claimed he was owed a favor by an amateur taxidermist friend. The blowtorched exploding plywood frame really ties it all together.”
