Great Grandma’s Bucket List

“My 5-yr old was obsessed with Angry Birds. This is what he gave me when I asked him to go make Great Grandma a pretty picture, as she wasn’t expected to make it another day.”

Watermelon Face

“My mom took this picture of me on an Alaskan cruise in 1997. I didn’t notice watermelon face & the odd ice sculpture until someone recently pointed it out.”

Feeding Frenzy

“This photo was taken at West Coast Game Park Safari located in Bandon, Oregon around 2000. As we walked into the park my sister saw a baby goat and picked it up while I was feeding one of the deer. Next thing I know I am bombarded by deer and goats. My parents snapped the photo of my cute sister without seeing me in the background.”

Number 2

“This is a picture of my sister-in-law. Why did the photographer think this was a good idea? Why did her mom decide to order the pictures?”

There’s Something About Lottie

“When I was in 6th grade, my two older sisters were popular and had big hair, and I was an awkward kid so I thought I’d be cool for a day. I went to town on the Aquanet hairspray. I used almost half a can to get this Big Bang as tall as I could. The photographer literally had to take a step back to fit my hair in the school photo and i really don’t know how he kept a straight face. I shared this on Instagram once and couldn’t even fit it in the crop.”

Nutcracker Love

“Growing up, I did ballet and I performed in The Nutcracker more times than I can remember. This was the year I was a candy cane and also the year the photographer insisted that I caress the nutcracker doll, resulting in this creepy, borderline objectophilia gem.”
