Considering the Kardashian family circus that is plastered everywhere on reality TV, magazines, and the Internet, it's sometimes hard to remember that they are actual people and an actual family.
Yes, they're, shall we say, different, and it's still unclear exactly why most of them are even famous. But that's society and, the fact is, they're not going away. We've tried. They're still here.
But before they were here, they were in pictures from decades ago that portray a slightly more normal view of life inside their family. They played soccer. They had awkward school pictures. They wore pleather and posed on motorcycles.
What? You never did that? Then you weren't a Kardashian...
