Kids
Gals And Dolls
“My mom thought it would be a great idea to dress me, her, and my American Girl doll Samantha in matching nautical themed outfits. Hard to say why we are all staring wistfully in different directions. My mom has not one, but two very large prints of this in their home (one upstairs and one downstairs) in Orange County, CA.”

“This is my little brother’s fourth grade class photo. Our elementary school decided to change things up a bit for picture day that year… and well, this was the result.”

24/7
“My mom has this picture hanging on her wall in her house for everyone to see. She sends it to me every Mother’s Day. This is me when my kids were little. Apparently my kids needed me and so did the dog, while I’m on the toilet.”

Spank E. Cheese
“This is me in 1984 getting spanked by Chuck E. Cheese on my 10th Birthday. I do not know why my mom didn’t see what was wrong with this picture!”

Brigitte Bardon’t
“My mother took this picture of me with my father in front of a salacious wax sculpture of Brigitte Bardot. It’s yet another prime example of the laissez-faire style of parenting we endured in the 1970s.”

Hunny Pout
“My mom was so excited about her Disney official costumes. She apparently planned this photo shoot long before I was born.”
