Youβve never known true pain until youβve had to take family fall pictures. The long car ride to get to the specific spot your mom spent hours choosing. Setting the camera up in that specific spot. Taking those photo bursts of ten pictures at a time. Your jaw is HURTING and your eyes are BURNING from staring straight into the BLINDING RAYS OF THE SUN for extended periods of time and your dad goes βWHY CANβT YOU LOOK. JUST LOOK ITβS NOT THAT HARD. LOOK I CAN DO ITβ and the kids are being UNCOOPERATIVE and your mom has to go check the camera every time to look through the pictures and thereβs not a single good one so she sets it up AGAIN and runs back before the timer goes off and then after doing that FIFTY THOUSAND TIMES weβre all just tired and want to go home and your parents start yellingΒ βdo you WANT candy or NOT? THEN SMILE AND THEN WE CAN GO HOMEβ and then your mom finally gives up goingΒ βthereβs gotta be an okay one in there somewhereβ but thereβs really not and you all just look like psychopaths
And after all that you just realize how much you really really REALLY love your family. So... so... much.
