Louder By The Dozen
“My sisters and I thought we’d get our kids together for a cute picture to give to our parents. This was the best picture we got because at least one kid was smiling, as oblivious as she was.”

Total Princess Move
“It was 1999. My grandparents were visiting from Texas and brought me and my cousins all matching t-shirts to get professional photos taken. I refused to wear anything but this. It’s hard being the Kim Kardashian of the family.”

Downsized
“My brother and his ex wife separated. Afterwards, we didn’t have a family photo without her that included my son. This was my Opa’s solution: cutting out a photo of my son and pasting it into the family photo that was taken the year before the ex came around.”

The Masked Santa
“This was 1969 or 1970. I think the masked Santa was my Great Uncle Louie. He liked his beer. I don’t have an explanation for why my parents thought this was okay.”
