Thanks so much to all the Chivers who sent their awesome photos in to the CHIVE (yes that is Leo, myself, and She CHIVE editor/our sister Emily up top). We want to make posts like this one of our staples so keep the awesomeness coming to thechivesubmit [at] gmail [dot] com. We only have a million users a day. What’s the worst that can happen?
Thanks again everybody! Chive On!
Leo n’ John

























my life is now complete, i’ve made the chive front page

Great post. Can’t wait for more of these.
You guys are all so…cute!!
I have some but they are way too embarrassing!
Why on earth were guys shorts so short back then? And what was with all the neon?!!
caveman, the more embarrassing the better!
Fail on the chiver who posted his kid pic with a 2007 issue of SI. I guess it could be his own kid though.
That’s his own kid I’m sure. and it looks like he has some potential
I gotta get in on this game
Miniature chivers, ain’t that sweeeet??
Seriously… that Pic taken at the USAF Academy Chapel… which one of those guys grew up to be the fighter joc, which one flies UAV’s from a connex?
Picture eleven. I think I know that guy. . . . Weird.
mini chivers. that’s funny
AWESOME!! My daughter made chive! (sophia vaughan)
I would tell you she looks just like you, but…uuuhh. You’re an awesome parent, at least.
hehehe. Thanks Fury
So looking through a bunch of image I tend to notice when a kid is reading a Sports Illustrated from 2007. Nice try. Plus why do we care what you “chivers” did as children?
Last one Pedobear of the 80′s ?
damn, i forgot to send in my photo for this one.
i hope you guys do it again so i can send in my oldschool photos
love all the 80s old school pics.
[...] Readers of TheChive.com recently submitted photos showing why they were awesome kids, and we’re inclined to agree. You know when you bring home a date and it suddenly hits you that there are approximately a million photos of you in home-made costumes and/or naked framed on the wall? Maybe that’s why you wait so long to bring people around to family dinner, which is why we’ve got to hand it to these guys for ponying up the goods so willingly. A few more choice shots here, and the rest at the link. [...]
If you have naked pictures of yourself as a child on your walls you have more problems than having a date see them.
