Kids will always surprise you.

I was in my room on Saturday morning messing about with the camera, minding my own business when in walks Seanan.

“What ya doin Mum?”

“Taking pictures of the beads on the quilt son. They look nice in the light.”

“Will you take my picture please Mum?”

“Sure!”

Now, if I had have asked him to let me take his picture he would have had something much more important to do immediately. So I took a shot of him, then another. I began to notice that every time he heard the shutter, he changed his pose! Just slight changes. Tilting his head toward the light more, moving his arm positions, looking away, looking down… I was trying sooo hard to look serious at this stage and keep it going. Inside I was in tears of laughter.

Then I did a ‘Tyra’ on him.

“Seanan, can you give me sad?. Now give me fierce. How about Angry? Happy. Crazy.!” I got all this out of him.

Five minutes later, he was back to ‘Ben 10 and the Alien Force’…

We can only assume someone has been watching too much ANTM with Mum.  And I thought he wasn’t paying attention! I am now having visions of my son 20 years from now with bleached white hair, perma-tan and eyebrows plucked to within an inch of thier lives. Rolling his eyes to heaven he’s shouting at some Brazilian goddess,

“Girl, you wanna be on top?, you need to smile with your eyes more!” :)
