What is it about school pictures that just makes us awkward looking?
I adore my niece. I think she is beautiful. I am curious where her upper lip went in this picture. My mother has a folder of school pictures that are a chronology of haircuts and clothing styles. They show my years of wearing hyper-color shirts, giant door-knocker earrings and lace bows in my hair. Then there is the year of the afro-mullet. Yes...I had a haircut worse than a regular mullet - an afro-mullet. Just awful awkward smiles and uncomfortable eye twitches. Clothes that were too itchy or too "cool".
School pictures are the a history of us trying to look our best and failing miserably.
And here is to my niece. I love you very much.
