Hey There, Lonely Teacher
“My newly single sister is concerned she’s putting off some seriously pathetic vibes after being slipped this note from one of her second-grade students.”

Requiem For A Betta
“I was about seven years old when my favorite betta fish died. I was so devastated that I insisted on hosting a full blown funeral for it. We dressed in all black and even said nice words. My mom took this photo in our back yard before we buried it. My older sister is trying her hardest not to laugh while I stood there holding my dead fish on a paper plate!”

Skinny Dippers
“Every year for swimming my brother and I take a family photo for the team pictures, but this year the crop job and my hair made it look like we were naked.”

Cracker Jerk
“My father was supposed to take my sister and I to get our pictures made. I am supposed to have on a matching jacket like my sister’s. He left it in the car and rather then admit he flubbed, he just told the photographer to let the picture roll. That is why I have my picture professionally made in a Cracker Jerk Tshirt. That and our mullettude makes this photo very awkward!”

The Mummy
“This is a photo of my younger sister, (mummified), my older brother, (proud as ever), and me (“I didn’t do it”). My favorite part of this picture is how, even though you can’t see my little sister’s face, you can tell she is smiling in a very “TA-DA!” way, and I can only imagine how proud she was to be our model. I don’t remember when this was taken, but I can look at the craftsmanship in the placement of the streamers, and the excellent color blocking techniques, and I know that’s my fabulous work – my brother must have been the project manager/supervisor. My siblings and I have talked about recreating this picture for our mom now that we are all in our 20’s, but it has been really hard to drum up this collection of oddly specific t-shirts.”

Don’t Forget Me
“Our poor Mom was simply trying to get a picture of her two Boy Scouts and I had to stick my big head into the picture at the last second. Ridiculous. The background is kind of ridiculous too now that I’m looking at it as a grown-up. The whole picture makes me say…’WTF?'”

Boyfriend Recon
“My 14-year-old sister vowed to find a boyfriend this school year. After only one week, she finished her research…”

Upstaging The Cowgirl
“Early on in my relationship with my better half, my boyfriend took my little sister out trick-or-treating. As this is the before photo, it doesn’t give away that she came home tantrum-angry because everyone ooh-ed and aah-ed over his costume all evening and didn’t say a word to the cowgirl.”

Tree-creation
“The first picture was taken in 2000, and the recent one was taken in 2015. This tree was in our grandfather’s front yard, and every kid to grow up in the family played in this tree. Our Father captured the cute photo of us as children and it kind of became “The picture” that everyone hung in their houses. After 15 years we decided to recreate ‘the picture’ and it was hilarious.”

Third Wheel Life
“This is my sister (looking at the camera) and my husband and me. We were testing out the timer on our camera and didn’t intend to get any kind of keep-able photo out of it, but after seeing the look on her face, we thought it was well worth keeping!”
