Have Your Cake
“It’s a tradition in my family to dunk the birthday boy or girl’s head in their own birthday cake. This was taken on my sister’s first birthday. The one doing the dunking is our cousin. Lucky for me, this tradition ended once I was born.”

Bandstache
“This my son’s school pic after busting his lip. Poor kid rolled off the bed, hit his night stand, and had to get stitches. Then picture day!”

America the BooHoo-tiful
“We took our kids to Mt. Rushmore when they were little. Obviously, I wanted a photo of the fam in front of the iconic mountain. This is what I got. My daughter was convinced that she was going to fall off of the ledge and plummet to her death… in actuality, it was a three foot “drop” to the back row of benches in a huge amphitheater. She refused to turn around and look for herself. Instead, she just sat there and bawled. Four years later, that’s still her go-to reaction to pretty much everything.”

Poochie
“My fellow friends born in the 80s may remember Poochie. I was obsessed. My mother the seamstress was a saint. Despite the look on my face, I remember being thrilled with the result.”

Hat Trick
“The year– 1977. For my 2nd grade class picture, I was determined to wear this hat my Grandmother made for me; after all, it matched the dress my mother picked out for me! This photo is the re-take; when my mom saw the first picture – with the hat – she made me go for a do-over. Needless to say the hat came with that day too. I still stand by my decision.”
