Kids
Shadows
“This was my first communion picture. First of all, the hair is epic!! Crop top WITH tight perm? Yes please!!! But the real gem of the picture is my little sister, who for some reason wasn’t allowed in the pic and is seen lurking in the shadows in the background! Lol! And we wonder why she had middle child syndrome!!!”

Hey, Ladies
“To answer your questions: yes, mine and my brother’s hair IS shaved on the sides; yes, those ARE dinosaurs on my tie; and a resounding YES, that blue suit IS made entirely of corduroy.”

The Fall Guy
“My mother has always had a ‘unique’ fashion sense and a love for capturing her family in pictures. In this epic photo, I the young boy in front of the group of hat-wearing ladies show my lack of interest in the photo by staging my only defense… rubber legs.”

Soap In Your Eyes
“I am about eleven in this picture. I had just finished washing my mother’s car and was walking back to the house to go inside to pour out the water. On my way inside, I tripped and the soapy water sloshed up and into my face. For some reason, this was a catastrophe. I was also, for some reason, convinced that if I opened my eyes, the soap would get into them and blind me. I distinctly recall arguing with my father (who always had his camera at hand and saw this as a golden moment to capture) that I would, indeed, lose my eyesight, even though he kept saying I wouldn’t. At this point, I was crushed that nobody would believe me, nobody had the heart to comfort me, and nobody had the care to hand me a towel (I think I ended up using the sleeve of my sweater).
I’d like to say that’s just soapy water dripping off my chin, but with the amount of blubbering going on, it’s quite likely it’s a mixture of both soapy water and drool. And yes, if you’re wondering, this moment still comes up in conversations with my father. (My mother says there are too many similar ones for her to recall.)”

P.O.W.
“I have no idea why I am holding a knife or have a grenade strapped to my waist, but since I’m crying I can pretty much guarantee my older brother had something to do with it.”

Your Dress is Calling
“This is a photo of me – my friends thought this was worth sharing with the site as I’ve become infamous for the phone dress. I don’t know what my mother was thinking, but I think it was, “One day, my daughter’s friends are really going to enjoy making fun of this.”
