Wade In The Water
“This is the result of me getting the lead in a play. I had to stand in a blow-up swimming pool on stage in a swimsuit while a group of kids sang ‘She waded in the water’ behind me. The grand finale was me getting my swim suit wet. Definitely awkward back then, but kind of creepy now.”

Sugar Grills
“Classic sugar grill. Story goes that I chewed on my bottle so much that it ruined my teeth. My neighbors used to chase me around the yard with pliers saying they were going to rip out my teeth and sell the silver.”

Sisterly Love
“Red-Headed Crying Girl: Just got kicked in the head by accident.
Father: Mad that his daughter is overreacting about getting hit in the head.
Mom: Fake smiling for the camera and trying to pretend everything is fine.
Brown Hair Girl (me) – Smiling at my sister because I know that this is going to make a great picture.”

Rabid Rabbit
“My sister on the lap of the most gawd-awful Easter Bunny ever. A mom in our mother’s club had borrowed the bunny costume for photos … we didn’t know how to tell her that not only did the Bunny appear to be a mutant, but it was SCARING THE CHILDREN!!”

When Laura Ashley Attacks
“This is a photo of my mom, younger sister, and me visiting my mom’s parents in Scottsdale, AZ in 1989. My grandmother, an old-school WASP, ordered these matching Laura Ashley dresses for the occasion. There’s no good explanation of my modified bowl-mullet hairstyle, however.”
