Mom Wasn’t Very Pleased When She Found These Photos in Her Son’s Backpack
Seriously though, we always want our kids to look their best in their school pictures. These pictures are going in yearbooks, and they will be shared with friends. Let’s be real; if we’re paying for professional pictures, we want our kids to look good in them.
We might even buy a special outfit for school picture day like a cute little dress with a pretty bow for a girl or a button-down shirt and maybe even a tie for a boy. No other day of the year would our son be caught dead in a button-down shirt at school, but school picture day is different.
Do you remember when you were a kid, and everyone was lined up waiting to have their picture taken? We don’t know exactly what it’s like now since we’re not there when our kids are having their pictures taken, but we remember being handed free combs to do any last minute touch-ups to our hair. We remember being told to sit in a certain way. We remember our parents (usually) being pleased with the pictures and buying some for every relative in the family.
What do you do when you’re not pleased with the way your kids’ school pictures come out? Have you ever had that happen? We can remember at least one day when one of our kids got school pictures back and we were disappointed. The smile looked goofy, and the hair looked messed up. We thought, what were the photographers thinking?
Even our kids’ worst school photos don’t top the ones that Stronajai Miles found in her son’s backpack. Her son, Miles, somehow got away with a very unconventional school photo. He’s dressed nicely in a red polo shirt. We’re sure his mom was hoping for something a little less goofy.
Miles didn’t even tell his mom that he got the photos. She just found them in his backpack and was in shock. She posted a picture of them on Facebook and then edited the post to add that she did not prepay for these pictures, and she even contacted the company that took the pictures to find out how this happened.
Her post has now been shared 41,000 times, and many people are commenting encouraging her to buy the photos. As one person wrote, “Absolutely LOVE these. They are authentic and will chronicle a hysterical time in his life. You have to get them!”
Would you buy your child’s school pictures if they looked goofy like this? Have your kids ever come home with school pictures that didn’t look exactly like what you were expecting?
