Sometimes a mom just wants to take a picture.
Sometimes you’d think I was asking for world peace.
The Kid had a promotion ceremony as he prepares to leave elementary school for middle school.
It was a fun ceremony.
As each student walked across the stage a teacher read the child’s top 3 memories from elementary school.
For all the families who were leaving elementary school (if this was their youngest child) then the child presented their parent with a flower.
That was very sweet.
The ceremony ended with a photo memory dvd of the kids.
The Kid’s picture was first and then quite a few more throughout.
He thought it was embarrassing.
I almost kinda started to tear up.
After the sweet ceremony I wanted a picture.
Nothing too fancy schmancy just a picture of The Kid with Dad.
Who knew how difficult that would be.
So begins…
My Quest For A Normal Picture
“Ah, Mom. Do I have to?”
“Yes. Come on, just one picture.”
I get this..
“No. Normal smile not that silly rabbit look. I don’t want a picture of you looking like a rabbit and sticking your teeth out. Just a normal picture, please.”
At which point I get this..
“What silly rabbit look? Dad, does this look silly?”
“Come on, kid. Just one normal smile, please!”
So he tries the look on Dad. I get this…
He turns back around and…
*This is when I decide to just walk away*
