Christmas at the Photo Studio

Christmas Family Portrait
Christmas Family Portrait

One year, we booked an appointment at The Sears Photo Studio for a family Christmas portrait.  When we arrived, they were an hour behind schedule, so the challenge was to keep the boys quiet and their hair combed.  The waiting room was full of antsy kids with bottled energy and parents with the same refrain:”It’s almost our turn”.  I was distracted by the baby squirming in my arms, when a pregnant pause filled the room, followed by a loud clap of laughter.  I scanned to see the source of such joy…and there at the front counter, was my son, smiling like the Grinch.  He had dropped his pants and was mooning the room and getting the exact response he was hoping for.

I hope you have an “embarrassing” moment with kids to share?
