Kids
Toilet Trumpet
“This is me in the late 80s in Hampshire, England, and I was taking trumpet lessons at school. I was never one for practicing regularly, so perhaps Mum and Dad saw an opportunity – might as well get some practice done while you’re in there.”

61 Pins
“Our daughter was in gymnastics and her hands were very calloused. She thought she would see how many stick pins she could insert into the callouses. She ended up with 61! Makes a mother proud.”

Porcelain Pose
“That was me about fifteen years ago. My family and I were at the San Antonio River Walk visiting my brother at boot camp. My mom had been trying to get good pictures of me all day, and after getting none, she took me into the bathroom and said ‘I wish you would pose nice for one photo!’ And when she turned around, I was posed on the toilet just like that. ‘How’s this mom?'”

Signs
“My aunt took me to my first (and only) Broadway audition for Annie. Yes. Annie on Broadway. She put me in a room with professional singers, dancers, and actresses for a shot at the lead role. Her belief in me was nothing short of fantastical. I had no professional headshots (or singing or acting or dancing experience), so they took a Polaroid of me for the audition. Pretty sure the sign above me was merely a coincidence.”

Hangtime
“The kids were having a shoot for our Christmas card and we had no idea why the photographer stopped shooting and fell to the ground laughing.”

Up
“This photo of my 6 month old brother was taken on my second birthday. Apparently my siblings thought it would be hilarious to tie balloons to all of his limbs and my parents were just like, ‘whatever.’ He was the eighth child, so I guess by then nothing mattered.”

Foot Fault
“We were at the resort in Turkey, and one man’s feet and his feet got in the way of some nice pictures of my little boy.”

Hold The Cheese
“My traumatizing birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese back in the day. I’m the girl hiding from the rat.”
