The Family Portrait

Lil’ Toot here. It was Time for the Family portrait, and Aunt Griselda lined up the Kids to take a Picture for Posterity. It was hard enough to get Them in One Place at One Time. They were all very busy. Burying a bone in the Backyard. Watching the Little One. Begging for Scraps. Living unstuck.

When She finally got Them corralled, it was a question of How to get Them to Smile. They had pleasant Faces and She wanted to show Them off at Their best. After many attempts, She tried “Cheese!” and had to laugh. There They were, Her pride and Joy goof Balls. Living unstuck.

I wonder: Have You been caught in an Errant Pose or two? Or are You always put Together? I say: Be a Nincompoop. Mom’s best Shots of Me are when I’m in My Crazy Dude Mode. Nothing like it. We live unstuck. #unstuck-living#family-portrait

Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.
