Vanilla
“My brother must have just turned 14 or 15 which apparently means that there is no party anymore. Instead he was stuck with an undecorated cake and a chicken pox/calamine lotion covered little sister to take his picture with. Clearly, neither one of us was very happy about it.“

Elevation
“My brother broke his arm so bad that he had to sleep with a wooden stick attached to him to keep it elevated. Clearly Mom found this to be a great opportunity take a photo, and she asked me to get in there too.”

The Barbet
“My school photo from the 80s. My mullet was fashioned after the 1982 Happy Birthday Barbie and my glasses are decorated with decals picked out from the decal book at the optical shop.”

Welcome To The Jungle Book
“That’s me in the picture, taken in the early 90s at a local children’s carnival, after we waited in line to meet the characters of the Jungle Book. When we got to the front of the line, I was terrified but after waiting that whole time my parents made me pose.”
