School Picture Day

Ugg, today is school picture day. The battle began at 7:30 am. Son would not get up. Son didn't want to go to school. Son wouldn't choose shirt. Son wouldn't eat. Son has scratches on face and needs haircut. Son goes to school without money for photo because Mom doesn't want to waste money on school photo of pouting, scruffy child.

One hour after school starts: Dad answers phone call from school. Son has refused to have photo taken. Has also told substitute teacher that he has made diarrhea in his pants. Dad goes to get Son.

Dad returns sans Son. He hasn’t had an accident just knew that the D-word would get him out of school. Dad talks him into staying as the only other option is staying in his room all day. Dad is told photo can be re-taken later today. Dad says Son must have first school photo taken. He will supervise the process when he goes to pick Son up from school.


Mom writes out check to photographer and prays for the best.
