It's a wonderful carefree life we live and I have the pictures to prove it. And so do you - just take a look through all those good old family photo albums of yours. There we are - always younger, always happy... smiling and waving.According to my research through various family albums, what we do the most in this wonderful life is go on trips, visit each other, sit around in groups and eat. We sit together at tables, on decks and patios, on beaches and on lawns, we wave and smile. We don't have to work apparently - no evidence of that; besides, we are too busy filling in all that leisure time together. And when we do find a rare picture of us at work, what are we doing? We are sitting at tables or standing around in groups - smiling and waving.
And even when our children go off to school - do they work hard at their studies? Not according to the old family album - there they are at school concerts, all dressed up looking happy, proud and nervous - but still smiling and waving.
We always look so healthy and happy to be alive, and why shouldn't we? We don't have to cook or clean or take out the garbage; at least there is no photographic evidence of such mundane chores here. Hardly anyone ever looks stressed, or sad or worried - we just enjoy ourselves and celebrate all the time. Life is just an endless parade of birthday parties, Christmas and barbecues. We don't argue with each other or scold our children - we just share our food, give each other presents and photograph our happiness. Apparently we have a lot of babies - the photographic evidence of this fact is overwhelming. The record shows that the first thing we teach them is how to smile and wave. It also shows how they grow up quickly and then just seem to disappear... but fear not, before you know it there they are again, sometimes with more babies and here we go again.
So dig out those old family photo albums and see if I am not right - it's a wonderful carefree life full of happy people, gathered together sharing good times - smiling and waving.

You are right!! I actually never thought about how we don't take pictures of our arguments, fights, disagreements etc. and put them in our photo albums!!! Who would want to look at them? Yes, it's better to smile and wave ...and you've done a good job reminding us of that - I enjoyed this one:) (smiley face)
