Hi, mom. This week my defective yeti posts are based on a book of blog suggestion. I had my readers randomly select the topics, and today I'm supposed to post an embarrassing photo from when I was younger. I sure you have a few laying around the house. Can you pick one, scan it, and send it my way?
Love,
Matthew

Here you go. I love this photo, but I bet you are probably embarrassed by it.
Love,
Mom

Thanks,

That is the most fantastically embarrassing photo I’ve ever seen. Thank you for making my day.
i laughed and cried.
Dear. Lord. Al. Might. Y. This is the best wayback machine picture I have ever, ever seen. Thanks for a much-needed laugh.
Did I date you in middle school? I think we danced to “Crazy for You” by Madonna.
This picture completes me.
