Picture Day
One of the “perks” of working in the public school system – one which I had not anticipated – is the complimentary school pictures they take of the teachers.
I have seven wallet size pictures now, with absolutely no plans of what to do with them. I joked with one of the other teachers that I might write “Stay cool! Have a great summer!” on the backs of them and pass them around to the other teachers.
I mean, what do adults do with wallet size pictures of themselves?
Especially when those pictures make them look about fifteen. I cannot look at these pictures without giggling – I mean, really. This is such a stereotypical school picture, I can hardly believe it.
That's so cute! I think you should have a contest and turn them into book plates with a giveway of some kind 🙂
You should see mine. I want a retake. I look bald. And 12.
Maybe we can mail ours to each other?
Haha, did you get an 8×10 too? I love getting those 8×10 school pictures of me at 23. This time I also fell for the whole "lean this way a litte" photographer's scheme to make everyone look ridiculous. My head is almost horizontal because she told me to lean so much. Oh well…
I think you should send them to your parents so they can pass them out to your relatives. JUST LIKE OLD TIMES. OR, you could get one of those frames that has spots for your photo each year, and a big one in the center for your current year photo. AND, Bart can put that on his desk 😉
(it's been a long day, and I'm starting to get loopy)
You could try freaking out some of the male teachers by putting a phone number on the back of your picture, too. "Does she really want me to call her? Or did she just give her number to everyone?"
