If you give a kid a camera,
he’s going to take lots and lots of pictures.
He’ll take so many pictures, he’ll fill up the memory in less than two hours.
He’ll take pictures of everything: the floor,
the wall,
the TV,
the back of his dad’s seat in the minivan.
He’ll even take unflattering pictures of his mom. While she’s drying her hair.
His brother will love the camera so much, he’ll want to have it in his bed at naptime. He won’t sleep at all! He’ll just take pictures. Of his crib.
And his teddy bear.
And his feet.
Some of the pictures won’t turn out at all. They’ll be all black,
or all white,
or blurry,
or even spooky.
Most will not be in focus, because the camera only takes 2 megapixel images, if you’re lucky.
He’ll soon discover that you can superimpose funny images over your pictures. Like an elephant.
Or a dinosaur.
Or even a parrot.
The kid will take 400 shots in no time flat, completely exhausting the internal memory. He’ll give the camera to mom. She’ll delete them, one by one. Delete. Delete. Delete. She’ll get so tired of deleting images, she’ll read the owner’s manual! Mom will discover the “reset button,” which deletes the entire memory at once. Ta-da!
The kid will be so excited, he’ll want to take some more pictures immediately!
And chances are, if he wants to take more pictures...
you’ll have to give him back his camera.

That was hilarious! Loved it. It has a familiar cadence-- have you thought of making it into a children's book? Loved it.
Great post! I love the if you give a... books. You're a great mom. I don't think my mom would have deleted all of those pics for me to 'do it again!'
Very funny!
I love it! Just wait until three kids are walking around with their own views of the world-just have to edit some in case they take a pic when you weren't expecting! I've laid down the law, and said no pic's if we're not completely dressed! So much fun!
