Portrait of a Tortured Child

Posted on May 20, 2011 by lymalu73

My #12 and I have a game we play.  It is called Portrait of a Tortured Child.  The rules are very simple.  When he is unhappy or upset with me or his dad, (about little stuff or dumb stuff) I grab the nearest camera and start snapping pictures while saying things like “Another one for my portrait of a tortured child series”.  It never fails to make him smile….then I say something like “no no you look too happy….look miserable….look tortured.

????

So today I am sharing our game and a few of our pictures with you.

refusing to look at m

Jedi or Sith????

 

I have lots more but I am saving the rest for his memoirs.

trying not to laugh

FYI these pictures are published with the full consent and permission of said tortured child…Mr 12.

    Reminds me of mom singing “If you chance to meet a frown” to our brother.
