“A possum took up residence in our garage and my dad (naturally) felt like we should have a family photo with it while my mom looked like she was questioning all of her life decisions.”

Love & Consequences

“This photo was taken during our engagement photo shoot in January, 1988. The photographer wanted it to look like I was lovingly daydreaming about my fiancé. Looking back on it, it was rather prophetic of what our marriage would be. This June we’ll celebrate 35 years of me trying to look innocent while being bad.”

Hot Tub Multitasking

“This is my dad and brother in the family hot tub. This was not a usual occurrence at our house, but neither of them or my mom, who presumably took the photo, has any memory of this happening.”

“My family at the dentist. I’m in the chair, the dentist is my uncle, and for some reason my grandmother decided this was a great time for a family picture.”

Justice League

“My parents took me to a Halloween autograph session with ‘Justice League’ superheroes. Now that I look at it 30 years later I find it quite creepy, particularly Spider-Man.”

Mini Me

“This is me looking at a cloth doll version of myself someone gifted me as a baby…I still wonder who thought this would be a good idea because it’s not creepy at all.”

Sorta Santa

“This is me and my dad in the 90s. My dad was in his Santa ‘disguise’ and no wonder I was so scared of Christmas.”

Welcome To The Jungle

“Every year, my family did themed Christmas photos. I asked my mom about submitting this one to AFP and she told me ‘No, our pictures aren’t awkward.'”
