Tick Tick Boom
“My husband and I decided to compile childhood pictures for a slideshow to have at our wedding reception and when going through his stack of photos, nothing could have prepared me for this gem. And to my surprise, he thought it was an awesome picture and wondered why I was laughing so hard.”

Another Mine
“Dad loved to visit mines and quarries. The rest of the family had little choice but to go along for the ride. Apparently, we rebelled by pulling our sweater sleeves far out of shape. Despite the mandatory rubber outfits and helmets, Mom always looked stylish.”

Carousel
“Mom was holding me the first time around. Second time around, not so much.”

Buzzkill
“Iran, 1970s. I was 5 years old and in the picture (I’m the smallest) with my cousins. My mum thought shaving all our hair off would make our hair roots stronger!”

The Enforcer
“It’s hard to get all 4 brothers to behave for a picture but the oldest sure tried to keep everyone in line.”
