In A Pinch
“Me when I was 3, in a porcupine cosplay, I guess. So fun to be the youngest sibling.”

MS Paint
“This is a picture of me (in the front) and my family. It was originally taken without my dad, as he was always off being a pilot somewhere. My parents were having problems at the time, and so, in wanting a complete family photo, my mother added my dad – cut out from another picture – to it. In that one, his head was 3x larger than ours, facing the wrong way, and his shirt had been marked in with a sharpie marker. When my parents stopped having problems, she changed the photo of him to the one now there. This was also the time that my mom discovered MS Paint. She thought my sister was being disrespectful by wearing an Arachnophobia shirt, so using her paint skills, she whited it out. She printed this gem and put it up in our family home, where it remained on the wall for over ten years.”

Clowning Around
“This is a pic of my husband and his family. My mother in law is obsessed with clowns. Her house is covered in them. This year they were even included in the family pic.”

Shirts & Skins
“My Wedding: August of 2004. In what has become known as a “family” thing, men from his side shed clothes as the night goes on. This is me and my husband’s Uncle about halfway through our reception at a local restaurant/bar.”

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.”

Whiter Shade Of Pale
“When my father got remarried after my parent’s divorce, my mother went through the family albums and cut him out of all of the family photos. Using scissors became too labor intensive, so she switched to white-out.”

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.”
