Embarrassing family pictures are one of the great social unifiers. Almost everyone has one. They’re a mix of our most awkward childhood years and the good intentions of family members trying to capture a moment. Most parents will even go out of their way to create a memorable portrait of everyone in the family. Combine matching clothing and anything that seemed like a good idea in the 80s and 90s, however, and we’ve got a recipe for disaster. Sure, it’s heartwarming to see all the kids together, but when half of them look terrified and the backdrop is a series of fake lasers, more is said about the time this photo was taken than what a lovely family you are.
