Why You Shouldn't Tell Your Burritos to Smile for the Camera

I never tell Asher to smile for pictures. I feel strongly that doing so would cause him to not only stop doing whatever photo-worthy thing he was doing in the first place, but also plaster a fake, weird-looking grin on his face. I generally try to draw as little attention to the camera as possible, pulling it sneakily out while he's already making a face, or, if I want a smiley picture, after I've already got him giggling. Sometime in the course of the last few months, however, somebody (and I'm not sure who, but if it was you, you're in trouble) thwarted my efforts and tainted him with the smile-for-the-camera mentality while I wasn't looking. Here is the result: If every picture you ever see of Asher from now on looks like a cross between a toddler and a squinty fish, it's not my fault.
