All I wanted was my family to get together for a little picture.  Just one. 

But let me tell you what it’s like when I’m trying to take a picture of my own family… it goes something like this.

“Honey… stop sticking your chest out. ”

“Baby…your eyes are closed, you look like a dork and stop wiggling your leg”

“Honey… all you have to do is sit and bend your leg like this… why aren’t you doing that?”

“Baby..just smile and no, I know you haven’t forgotten how”

“Honey… surely you must have noticed that my hair is covering 90% of my face”

And so on and so on and so on and so on… and pretty soon the “honeys” and “babys”  turn into “listen here you boys NO MORE of this tomfoolery… I JUST WANT ONE PICTURE!!!”

Snicker, snicker whisper, snicker.

Sometimes….. it’s tough being the girl in this household.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll make them try again..bwhahaha.
