Get the Picture? (A Mama Kat Writing Prompt)

This week, random.org “assigned” me Mama Kat prompt number five: top ten reasons why you’re glad you’re done with school. Due to the time consuming nature of life, I have had to choose just one reason for this post.
I am glad school is behind me because I will not be in any more…

School Pictures

Do you have any school picture horror stories?

    That's so funny. And you're absolutely right. I don't think any of my school photos are good.

    Great idea for this prompt! I also agonized over each and every one of my school pictures. So glad to have that chapter behind me!

    Yep…looking back on all those school pics and remembering how I was so careful in getting ready on pic day..and now looking back 20 years later thinking..I would've looked so much better if I went for more of a “natural” look..lol

    No more awkward school photos, and no more highly inadequate art projects.

    Glad that's over!

    All of my school pictures are horror stories…I was the skinniest kid in school with the bucked-est teeth. Not a time I look on fondly (the pictures anyway, school itself wasn't half bad). Thank goodness for braces and a changing metabolism!

    Hilarious post! I have too many hideous school pics to count… mostly from my 1980s grade school days.
