Today was 'picture day' at the Jr High. My daughter knowing that we don't buy school pictures decided to be creative today. She didn't tell her mother and I of her plans until dinner today (after the deed was done).
The results had my wife and I nearly doubled over laughing, with me actually crying from laughing so hard.
When it was her turn, she took her long scarf and draped it over her head like an old Russian woman, put on the most sour look, and then gave some sort of 'model' pose as she put it.
The poor photographer wasn't quite sure what to do, paused then asked her if that was what she really wanted. Without losing a beat, she replied 'it's the way my mom wants me to do it...she's european'. Apparently he said ok, then took the shot.
This caused the kids behind her to decide that they too needed a 'european' look/pose. A friend of hers nearly took 10 minutes of the poor man's time by over exaggerating every thing he asked. "Head back....she stared at the ceiling, head down a little....stare at toes, you get the idea". Finally in exasperation he took a shot with her looking nearly backward, staring at the ceiling with a goofy ass grin.
As a former Jr High substitute teacher, I can only assume some of the hijinks this man had to endure for the rest of the afternoon.
The sad part is, these pictures are going to be so bad, I am going to be compelled to actually purchase one for a keepsake.
