I can’t believe I let someone talk me into allowing this photo to be taken. I’m the turkey that’s being held up if anyone was uncertain. Please note the ridiculous arm shelf and pegged jeans. Oh, and Brooke Shields called; she wants her eyebrows back.
I could have saved this for Sunday since this is, I think, my junior or senior year of high school, but since the whole family’s involved I couldn’t help making a dedication to one of fave blogs, Awkward Family Photos.
Jody Sparks Mugele spent her first career in marketing writing and leading teams of writers and editors. After her son came out as transgender in 2015, she dedicated herself to advocating for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. For two years, she led the Indianapolis regional chapter of PFLAG, a nationally renowned LGBTQ+ advocacy group. She has given many conference talks about parenting trans kids, healthcare in the trans community, and suicidality among LGBTQ+ youth. And with GenderNexus, an Indianapolis-based advocacy organization, she created programming and led support groups to work with parents to help their children through all aspects of gender transition. She recently moved to Northeast Georgia where she is excited to develop opportunities to continue to strongly and proudly advocate for LGBTQ+ members of our society. She also LOVES kitschy Christmas crafting! View more posts

too funny. š
I know you just saw me fling my head back in laughter but I have to add it in here to.
Bwahahahaha. Its not bad enough for Awkward Family Photos, but hilarious. And you really dont want to know what those people would say. Better to keep it here where only your friends and family can openly mock you.
At least nobody’s face is straining to hold you up! That would have been awkward.
Yes Dawn, but you can bet at that age I had a lot of my insecurity wrapped in that moment while I was thinking, OH MY GOD it takes three grown men to hold me up!! But look at my game face: still smiling!
Why, o why, HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS PHOTO UNTIL NOW???!!!! I am cracking up!
I have seen this many many times on Aunt Marie’s dresser—-she loved it and you to.
Aw, Chris, thank you. What a wonderful surprise this comment is. I’m a little misty…
