Babies
Where Babies Come From
“When my mom went into labor she didn’t make it in time to the hospital, she ended up giving birth in the parking lot of the hospital. My dad had to leave my mom and run inside to notify the staff. After everything happened the hospital gave my dad a shirt. Well fast forward a couple months later he thought it would be a good idea to wear the shirt to church on the day I was baptized. My mom (standing next to him) was trying to not look disappointed. Even my Godmother and Godfather look disappointed.”

Snow Day
“This is a picture of little me on my first real snow day. What compelled my mother to buy this snowsuit, let alone dress me in it and bring me out in public, I have no idea.”

The Super Bowl
“I was looking through some old albums at home and found this gem. It’s my aunt and I. I’m not sure what was going on in the photo, but I’m guessing that I just got a new haircut and was not so happy with it.”

When Laura Ashley Attacks
“This is a photo of my mom, younger sister, and me visiting my mom’s parents in Scottsdale, AZ in 1989. My grandmother, an old-school WASP, ordered these matching Laura Ashley dresses for the occasion. There’s no good explanation of my modified bowl-mullet hairstyle, however.”
