I hate the way the school does spring pictures.  They take everyone's pictures, whether you send $$ or not.  Then they send you home with a whole package of pictures you can purchase or send back if you decide not to.  

Which sounds fine.  Unless you weren't planning on buying pictures.  And sent your kids off to school with hastily combed hair and whatever they wanted to wear.  (Zach was wearing a black lego star wars shirt with 9 brightly colored minifigures on it.  awesome.)  And with the super-cool backgrounds they photoshop in, the kids can't believe that you don't want to purchase this very expensive package of pictures.  And so now you are the meanest mom on the planet.  (Yes, there are even tears.)  

Still, since you are still pretty nice for the meanest mom on the planet, (and since your kids are cute even with hastily combed hair) you snap a picture of the envelope of pictures.  And then you let the kids pack them back up to return to school (read:  shove them into their backpack like everything else) not caring if they get wrinkled because hey, you didn't ask for them in the first place.  

PS:  Dear mom, thank you for buying me those 6th grade school pictures with the super-cool green laser thing in the background.  I've always known you were a nicer mom than I'll ever be.
