School Picture Day and Silly Us

Who remembers being subjected to these school picture days? Where you anxiously wait in line for your turn, holding a ticket that has your name and school information, then as you sit on the box,

shoes together
straighten up your back
move your head this way, nono, that way

Perfect! Now smile, come on, smile more harder...

*FOOSH!* goes the flash as you smile like a stiffed up idiot.

Sometimes, there are cases where the stress is intense that you can't relax or you look at the photographer with dread.

When your picture arrives in mail, parents aren't happy and demand a retake while the first bad one is stuck in the yearbook. Ah, better luck next year.

It was hilarious doing this,

We couldn't even keep a straight face for long and had to work fast.

Linda, thank you for cracking me up today. I love the silliness that happens every time we hang out.

haha that's pretty frickin hilarious! Love it. I was always wondering, "How in the heck is this going to look natural?!" Because the photographer always instructed to sit with legs off to the side, but body and face to the camera, with back very straight and chin up. I was just so uncomfortable since that was so unnatural for me. "Can't I just slouch and bite my nails? That is natural for me!"
