Smoked
“My mom was always good at making Halloween costumes no matter what I wanted to be. She asked 8 year old me what I wanted to be so I said ‘a cigarette!” She got to work and made me a Marlboro, lit with ashes at the top. Needless to say, the school banned any cigarette related costumes the next year.”

The Delicates
“I remember very little of my childhood but here I am @ 3 yrs napping in the dryer. I am told that sneaking a nap in the dryer while the clothing was still hot was a tradition of mine…I’m just glad my foot was poking out, notifying everyone NOT to shut the door.”

The Demon Bush
“Twenty-five years after dummy broke up with me, I married him. It was the sweetest thing in the world and his brother agreed to take photographs of us at the local museum. I was going through the pictures when I saw I totally blocked my husband out with my big hair. Then a good friend of mine pointed out the bush in the background looks like a demon. Needless to say, it elevated this photograph to Super Awkward Status.”
