Taking The Plunge
“My 11 month old was fascinated by the household toilet plunger. Obviously, it was off limits. But after a week of constantly prying it from his little grasp, I bought him a brand new one for his very own. And then… this is what he did with it.”

Seeing Red
“This is a picture of my mom & I at a Civil War reenactment. To this day I cannot understand why we would want to take a picture with a man who is wearing an apron covered in fake blood. I was just as freaked out then as I am now. Oh, and loving the outfit, Mom!”

The Patriot
“My grandfather is the star of many awkward family photos. Here, he poses pantsless, with a pair of kettlebells, artistically composed at his feet to highlight his lack of pants and booty short spandex. The flag in the background pretty much says it all: this is AMERICA.”

Bottle Service
“My family liked to play board games — so much so that apparently feeding the baby (me) took too much precious time away from the game! So they rigged a string from the lamp to hold my bottle. My sister is quite proud of this hack! Dad is in the background, likely getting another game of Scrabble ready. Pretty sure Mom took the picture! Ironically, it probably took them longer to rig up the bottle than it would have taken to actually feed me.”
