People Share Their Awkward Sibling Photos Online And Oh Boy Do They Bring Back Memories

by Rachel

As a child, there was nothing I despised more than having to pose for a million different photos with my sibling. Whether it was in a portrait studio or in front of some kind of landmark, having to stand around smiling for photos was low on my list of priorities.

This horror wasn’t just reserved for my family, most families have had similar experiences. Often, the photos didn’t turn out as sweet as our parents visualised. People have started sharing the awkward, yet hilarious, pictures of them and their siblings online so we can all share the pain of family portraits.

Those bangs are... something.

"We don't have coke, is pepsi okay?"

I never truly understood what it’s like to grow up with siblings until I found this gem of a photo in my wife’s family album... from r/pics

There's so much going on here.

Guess which one of these is the faceswapped?

My oldest brother and I have such similar looking faces that even with our faces swapped, we still look the same from r/funny
"background story: we were 3, my mother and grandmother left us with my Dad and grandpa, who were pouring concrete in the backyard. We were getting into everything, so this was their method of keeping us out of the wet concrete. According to my father there were toys in the cardboard box. My mom was not very happy when she came back, but I thank her for taking a picture of it."

No achievement too small...
