Picture-perfect smiles
August 22nd, 2008
When we were at my aunt’s house this week, I knew my mom would disown me (not really, but she would have been disappointed) if I didn’t get a photo of Annalie and my cousin Bob’s kids together. So on our last day there I posed them on the patio swing with their popsicles and asked them to smile.
“C’mon guys, smile! Please?”
Hmm, what can I say to make a 10-year-old boy, a 9-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old girl smile all at the same time?
“I sure hope nobody farts.”
Bingo! You’re welcome, Mom.
Update: As Karen commented below, great minds think alike!

Are you a long-lost family member and we just haven’t figured it out yet? You so belong to US.

Love it!! Any time I mention “fart” or “poop” the girl laughs like a crazy person. :)
