Just take the freaking picture.

Okay, so its picture day. The day everyone spends that extra ten minutes on their hair, changing their out fit two or three times. All the while hoping miraculously that this will be the year. That all the pictures before this moment, this year were practice pictures, and now they will finally get a good one. But in the end, everyone’s pictures…suck.

Your head is either too tilted, or not tilted enough. You poor confused looking dog.

Your arm looks dislocated.

Your neck is too straight, not straight enough. You freaky looking giraffe.

Or perhaps its that one pathetically stupid strand of hair that somehow you missed while brushing your hair over a dozen times this morning. Four good hair days in a row, and suddenly your luck changes.

But its all:

Sit up,

Chin up,
Chin down,
Chin…just a little more up,

Arm back,

Neck straight,

Back straight,

And the worst part is your sitting there with your neck cracked to the side thinking; “Seriously? Just take the freaking picture, its going to be terrible regardless.” A picture is…suppose to capture a happy moment in your life. That’s why no one take pictures at funerals. So make it an enjoyable experience. And let us sit like a normal human being in a natural sitting pose. There’s no need for this nonsense.
