Baby Barely
“We were in vacation on Virginia visiting my aunt. My mom and dad thought it’d be a good idea to get a picture of my brother and I with the ocean in the background. And an even better idea letting my barely older than me brother hold me… the baby. Well, when my dad said “okay on the count of three” my brother Matt thought that meant to let go. My mom and aunt raced to grab me and caught me barely by the foot. My dad kept snapping the picture which resulted in this family classic.”

Very Bad Santa

The Jumpseat
“While my sister knew that Santa was the one who brought presents at Christmas, I apparently did not. He looks as thrilled to have me on his lap as I was.”

Fishy
“This photo was unearthed recently from a photo album, that had remained unseen for the past 20 years. No one in the family has any recollection of when and where this photo was taken, including my mother, the person gutting the fish. In fact, up until recently seeing this photo, she would have told you she had never gutted a fish. She also asks: “Why am i wearing sunglasses? And that bandanna?” This would be an amazing photo in itself, without the absurd addition of the mystery hands (no one knows who’s hands these are!), giving the sink a good plunge. As you do, when the person next to you is feverishly gutting a fish!”

The Leaning Tower Of Children
“This is a failed photo shoot orchestrated by my mother. I am the screaming baby pulling my brother’s hair. My sister is the oldest child in the back, silently lamenting about how much better her life was before her darling siblings arrived.”
