Real Life

Aw, look at these sweet kids!

She sits quietly, holding his head at just the right position, and gives a precious smile for the camera. He gazes quietly, wide-eyed, at his doting mother and gives a little coo for the camera.

REAL LIFE:

She shrieks “CHEESE!!” and forgets to hold the little boy’s head. The loud (and I do mean loud) voice causing him to wail inconsolably and almost tumble off the couch.

She can barely see out of her dirty, smudged glasses and probably has a wad of poop in her pants. He hasn’t had a bath for – well, I won’t even admit how long it’s been – and has drool all over his onesie.

Ah, yes, this would be my life.
