Not my children

Someone is out to get my children.

How do I know this?

Because my children are not allowed to use my computer. They know this, as I tell them every single day, multiple times a day. I am their mother and they respect me. Period. So, when I found the following pictures on my hard-drive, I knew that my children could not have been behind them. My children would never turn on the computer and play with Photobooth, knowing it’s against the rules. They just wouldn’t.

Which is why these pictures are so very perplexing.

Huh.

It’s all just so inexplicable.

Busted! No it was really the computers fault, it turned on and opened photobooth on its own to tempt your children into doing things the shouldn’t.

Do love the creativity though of there shots.

That middle shot reminds me of Max Headroom… that may have dated me.

Well like Baby Girl told me yesterday after she got in trouble for talking at school, it wasn’t THEIR fault; it was the computer’s fault for tempting them to play on it.

Yeah, it didn’t work for her either.

You better watch out the POD people may be living with you right now, making you think they are your children. Your children may be in their mother ship right now. If they are tell the POD people to tell them to call home.
