Photo Bomb

The holidays are fast approaching, and, among other things, this means it's time to take those photos to send off to family and friends.  It seems like such a simple task, but alas, things are not always what they seem...

Anthony: Are you guys ready to have your picture taken?
Amita: Just about.  We have to find Dev.  Where can he be?

Amita: Remember, we're sending this photo to Auntie, so it has to be nice.
Did you have a talk with Dev?
Ravi: Sort of.  I had a sort of talk with him.
Amita: >Sigh<

Dev: Alright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
Ravi: You're wearing that shirt?!?!
Dev: They're Christmas aliens.  'Close Encounters of the Merry Kind'!
Amita: Try again.

Amita: That's better.  Now Dev, Auntie is getting this picture, so you must behave.
Dev: I always behave.

Dev: I just can't help it that I'm simply more dazzling than you two.
Ravi: Good grief.

Anthony: Okay, on the count of three.  One, two, three, cheese!

Dev: TA-DAAAAAH!!!
Camera: >Click<

Patrick: Well, how did the photo go?  Did Dev behave?
Ravi: What do you think?

Patrick: He's remarkably consistent.  My logical side has to appreciate that.
Ravi: >Sigh< Your logical side doesn't have to deal with him.

Aww poor Ravi , all he wanted was a lovely photo for aunty! Some children remain children for much longer than others or feel that need to out shine the rest !

there's always that one little show-off who has to clown in every picture. However, years from now, those will be the best pictures to look back on!
