Embarassing childhood photos and videos

[RickD137]

I recently came across some old photos of myself and a friend playing on the beach in our pants/briefs, I have worked out we must have been 7-8 years old luckily the picture was always kept in a photo album and not on display in the house

My Mum has a picture tucked away in an album somewhere of me and our next door neighbours' son aged maybe three or four, standing in a paddling pool in our back garden completely naked, facing the camera and smiling for the photo.

Entirely innocent and I obviously didn't care when it was taken, but my Mum found the image highly amusing and used to bring it out regularly to show any guests that popped by, both adults and kids, which I started to find somewhat embarrassing from some point after I started school and eventually asked her to stop showing it to people when I was eleven or so, coming to the end of primary school.

To her credit she she did stop showing the picture, which is pretty exemplary of her attitude to my privacy in general - that is to say it didn't exist unless I raised an issue, but when I did she'd absolutely take my views on board.

I find it adorable that she wanted to show you off but I'm also glad she respected your wishes.

How long has it been since you last looked at that picture?

How long has it been since you last looked at that picture?

It must be approaching 30 years now. No doubt it will come out again one day, if someone decides to take a look through some old photo albums.
