A Family Affair?

These parents either:

1. Had a great sense of Humor

2. Had an ax to grind

3. Hated the very idea of children

4. Aspired to a future of family laughter, at their children's expense.

5. Used some kind of discount coupons only redeemable at a store where everything had to be purchased in multiples.

"I LOVE this set of photos...I hated the matching outfits...but I managed to fake a smile. PJ was just completely unable to deal." (via)

PJ--I feel your pain, baby boy. Were you going sailing, in nursing scrub colors?

"The coats sort of conceal this fact, but the pants are a giveaway. MORE MATCHING OUTFITS." (via)

I am not sure that a sweatsuit actually constitutes an "outfit." And again--the scrubs green. Perhaps these parents actually just aspired to careers in medicine for their kids?

"Christmas 1990. Yes, more matching outfits." (via)

The Holiday sweater--always a good finale. (Is there such a thing as a Hanukah sweater?)

Ingrates!

"Wow. So yeah, one of my mother's hobbies involved putting me and P*** in matching outfits, color-coordinated with our bedroom, and taking what felt like endless photos. I look like I should be saying 'bored now!' here." (via)

I could care less about these children's matching outfits, but I want that poster so much I could just spit. Okay, and the red carpet with the funky blue wall is pretty rockin' too. This mom had it going on.

I think these children are just ungrateful. Yeah--that's it. They didn't DESERVE these outfits, or that poster which I should have, now.

Fringe!

"Hilarious. yeah, that's me-damnit my parents dressed me funny..." (via)

Feeling haikuish again tonight:

You-Urban cowboy.

Fringe adorns your vest so cool.

Stripey pants? Oh why?

Your glasses and grin

Smile wide despite the shame

collared shirt with vest.

Hippie garb made plain

by buttons up to the neck

what did parents think?

I dare you to make fun of my outfit

"I haven't forgiven my parents for the way they dressed me when I was ten..." (via)

Why so glum my little friend?

Did this outfit show a trend?

Of fashion choices from mom and dad,

I know, I know-They made you sad.

Stripes and plaid and stripy collar

Perhaps a look meant to mean scholar?

Stare tells us you ARE the man,

but that big big collar? Whew--hot damn!
