Unwelcome Exposure
Today Chris tried to take a picture of Claire in her underwear. Chris, who scrapbooks, wanted a photo for a “potty training” page in Claire’s lifebook.
Chris even has stickers to put on the page. Cartoon drawings of of little hearts, toilet paper rolls, flowery underwear, a potty chair. Even a cartoon of the backside of a little girl pulling up her shorts. With a tiny girl butt crack.
Well Claire would have none of this photo opportunity. I remarked to my wife that scrapbooking her potty training would embarrass her in ten years (As opposed to blogging about her on the Internet which is perfectly harmless).
Chris replied that it would only embarrass her if she showed it to someone.
And what again, I wondered to myself, is the purpose of creating a lifebook?
