Nightmare On Sesame Street

“Growing up my brother and I didn’t have access to the real Sesame Street….. so we had to settle for these two. I don’t know how we weren’t scared out of our minds.”

The BFV

“My son really loves vacuums. Reeeeeeeally loves them. On preschool picture day, he was so miserable, and was offered the preschool’s vacuum cleaner to play with to cheer him up before his photo. When I picked him up, I was told that I “might see a bit of the vacuum in the photo.”

Basket Case

“My dad used to swing me around in a tiny garbage can and it was so much fun. I didn’t know it was weird until I asked around and found out that no one else’s dads swung them around in garbage cans.”

Blinding Lights

“Our school had mid year friend group pics called ‘highlights.’ The highlight was a Venetian blind that had a color light behind you and you could choose your groups color. My sister and I were not popular so we decided to do the pic together because the colored Venetian backdrop was the coolest ever. Our brother was in basic training in the army at this time so we were EXTRA patriotic as a family and the Gulf War was happening. I left the house with the most epic bang curl your life has ever seen. I was 100% sure people would be passing notes about how I should pursue a career in cosmetology. We chose RED for our Venetian color because WE ARE FIRE. They hand the pics back in class weeks later and MY HEART SANK. It sank because the glorious bangs I had worked a full hour on and half a can of Aquanet had called flat on one side and captured my worst hair moment.”
