You Need to Take Better Photos of Me

I have good hair days and bad ones.

We all do.

I sometimes wake up, look in the mirror and think, “Why does my hair look weird today?”

Other days, I wake up, run my hands through my hair and think, “Wow, why does my hair look so good today?”

Did I sleep a certain way?

Did I use a different amount of hairspray?

Did some sort of good-hair fairy visit me during the night and bless me with another a day of good hair?

It’s on days like those that I wish someone would take a photo of me.

Not a professional photo.

I’m referring to a friend or family member who will either randomly or purposely take my picture.

Maybe we’re out to brunch.

Maybe we’re at a party.

Maybe you ask to get one of my brothers and I because you’re always telling us we don’t have enough photos together. I get it, but we don’t like taking photos!

No matter the event, no matter the time, I just don’t like photos other people take of me.

Do I look like that?
