Having a Family Portrait Taken 


Dad: Okay, everybody, take your places. 


Mom: We’re in our places. Can’t the photographer just take the photo? 


Dad: We have to pose. The whole point is to look natural. 


Mom: If you wanted a natural family photo, why are we in a portrait studio in the middle of a sitting? 


Dad: I want us to stand in front of a nice background and pose with nice props 1. I’m tired of looking at the photos that we take. They’re not very good and require hours of touching 2 up or creative cropping. 


Mom: Instead, we’re supposed to look natural wearing color- coordinated 3 clothing and standing 4 in unlikely poses. 


Dad: Don’t be like that. Generations to come will cherish this family photo. 


Mom: I doubt it. 


Dad: How about if I ask the photographer to take some shots just of you? 


Mom: You mean like the headshots Hollywood stars get? 


Dad: Uh, sure, if that’s what you’d want. 


Mom: Well, in that case, I’ll need to have my hair cut, get my make-up done, and buy a new outfit 5... 


Dad: What have I gotten myself into?!
