Embarrassing Childhood Photos

Alrighty, so Joe Mallozzi’s challenge was to post a link to an embarrassing childhood photo. I didn’t have a link offhand to childhood photos of myself so I had to create this post to generate a link – and there were other problems. Not being the keeper of photos from my childhood, I only had a few pictures to even choose from unless I wanted to venture on over to my parent’s house at midnight – which of course was not going to happen. Some of you have seen some of these before in my posts from Another Blog Challenge and Another Blog Challenge Playing Catch Up so I threw in a few new ones just for laughs.

Bad picture quality but it’s me at my gymnastics practice

I am not sure why that one is at my house but I found it lying near some other old pics on my computer desk – that I am wondering if someone had dumped there near the scanner in a failed attempt to blackmail me.

I know, most of you have seen it before but I consider it embarrassing because…well, wow, check out that hair-do. I don’t remember it looking that bad but geez… and speaking of pictures of me as a kid playing with dangerous animals:

Quite the snake charmer

That’s my son being eaten by an alligator at the Cincinnati Zoo a few years ago

That would be the Bengal Tiger full grown and using the toilet like it was trained to do

And one more for good measure:

Karaoke at a friend’s bar

There you have it folks, some embarrassing photos although I have to say, as I searched through my photos I found many more embarrassing photos of me being goofy as an adult than I remember having seen of my childhood. I would say I do a lot more stupid stuff when there are cameras around now than I ever did as a kid. Alcohol helps.
