First Day of School = Most Embarressing moment of my life.

Ever since we were little kids most of us always have to take back to school pictures. Well,this isn't considered the "coolest" thing to do, so usually people just take the picture then never mention them to anyone. This wasn't the case for me this year. This year's back to school picture was humiliating!
On this particular morning my mom and i were going to take Meredith, Cauley, and Catherine to school. After i had gotten ready and was fixing my lunch, the three of them walked in. I was praying my mom would forget about the pictures. Unfortunately this didn't happen. Right as we were walking out the door my mother remembered. As soon as she said those dreadful words,"School Pictures!" the humiliation spread across my face.
I could hear all three of my friends start giggling and egging it on. I knew I would neverlive this down. The first picture wasn’t too bad; all it had to be was a picture of all of us so I could handle it. I was hoping this would be the only picture. Like before, this wasn’t the case. My mother then proceeded to make me stand by myself and take another picture. Red-faced and humiliated, I stood there taking my picture. The laughing only got louder.
I think my mother was just enjoying my embarrassment because she then made me another picture! This was the worst of them all. Every year since i was a little kid my mom would make my brother and me take pictures and show how old we are by holding up our hands showing the number. I didn't think she would actually make me do this in front everyone but as luck would have it, she made me hold up ten fingers to show I was in the tenth grade and take the picture. By now the giggling turned into bursting out laughing. I’m even pretty sure I saw tears coming out of Cauley’s face she was laughing so hard. Apparently I'm the only kid who has to do this at my school so they felt they had to make fun of me.
I was made fun of all day to say the very least. Actually, I still get made fun of to this day. Cauley still draws me pictures of me holding up ten fingers. I don’t think I will ever live that day down. I hope that that was the worst back to school pictures I will ever have to take. From now on, I will make sure I do those pictures when I'm by myself.
