It's like almost every day, the internet gives me another new favorite thing, free! Among the younger folks who never knew different, this is surely breeding a generation who won't be satisfied with something low-tech like sitting on a swing.
Anyway! So the new favorite blog along the lines of Sexy People/ Look at This F?cking Hipster is Awkward Family Photos. I just read the entire (new) blog LOLing because I'm a bad person. But maybe it's OK, because my own family has a portrait that would fit right in.
The captions are hilarious, as are some of the titles ("I think he's going to pork her" is today's entry's title). But the blog doesn't only run photos of people; it's an equal-opportunity sharer of awkwardness. Before I share a sampling of favorite photos, please enjoy this awkward story from the blog.
When I was 10 years old, my parents took us on vacation to a water park. I told my dad I had to go to the bathroom; he pointed to a building and let me go in by myself. When I got in, I noticed there were no urinals, and none of the stalls had toilets in them. Confused, I went into a stall anyway, pulled the curtain closed behind me, and did my business all over the floor. When I got out, we started walking away when another man with his son asked my dad if we knew of any bathrooms nearby. My dad pointed to the building that I had just exited. The man said, “No, that’s just a dressing room to change in and out of bathing suits.” My Dad said that was not true, as I had just used the bathroom in there. The other man insisted and my father started to get angry, “Are you calling my son a liar?” My Dad told the man we would all go in together to prove my innocence. Despite my objections, the four of us went in and when my Dad whipped open the curtain to the first stall…
Awkward.

The caption for this last one is, "What's most awkward about this photo is the person that's not there anymore." But also, what gender is the baby holder?
