So The Boy was getting dressed on School Picture Day and had on a ratty tee shirt.  I told him to change shirts and that was the start of an argument because he thought he looked just fine.  I pointed out that I only buy these photos every year for the grandparents, so could he please look somewhat respectable?  Finally we agreed on a tee that wasn’t faded, stained or torn.   I was happy with our compromise.   That is, until he brought home this photograph:

In case you don’t recognize the look, it’s Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid, my son’s favorite movie.

The headband was not part of our plan!  He must have stuffed that in his backpack when my back was turned.  After all that discussion about the tee shirt…..ARRGH!!  

The thing is, really, that’s the best school photo that he has ever taken.
