When I was in about 1st or 2nd grade I was completely in love with The New Kids On The Block. I have no idea where I even heard their music originally, it’s not like my parents were blasting the teeny bopper rock in the car or anything. (In fact, it wasn’t until middle school that I really listened to anything other than music from the 70s and back.) I guess when I was playing at a friend’s house I picked it up? Anyway, totally obsessed. I had the trading cards, the comic, the videos, even a Jordan doll–he was my favorite, obviously.
I say all this because when I was browsing Awkward Family Photos I saw this photo:
Why are they feeding her?
And I thought to myself, Haha that guy in the middle looks just like whatshisface, the less famous Wahlberg. When I looked a little closer, I noticed that a.)FakeWahlberg was trying to stick things into that little girl’s mouth wtf, and b.)The sensitive looking dude behind him looked super familiar. Then it hit me: I am a terrible NKOTB fan, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THEM. I’m ashamed. I’m also ashamed I thought Donnie Wahlberg just looked like a bad Wahlberg wannabe. My bad, Donnie. Keep hangin’ tough.
