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?!
