The days that mom wants to take pictures...
Every so often my mother likes to take family pictures. She goes to a store and buys all the same shirt or outfit for all of us so we all look the same. The funny thing is that after the pictures she takes the clothes back to the store to return them. She doesn't think that we should "be ourselves" in the picture and let us dress how we want. My brothers and I have made the argument plenty of times but she always has to have it her way. We tell her "it looks dumb when were all wearing the same thing." She will never budge.
In the picture I chose, me, my two older brothers, and my younger sister were all posed outside near my brothers college. My brothers and I all had a blank expression on our faces and my sister had a full smile on her face because she knew that she was the only one that wasn't dressed like everyone else. She was the only one who could be herself.
The reason I chose this picture is because it shows how my family is. My mom try's to hard to make everything perfect when we would be much happier and more cooperative if she would just tell us to dress nicely and we could where what we thought would be appropriate. The pictures actually end up looking worse because we are all upset.
