Mom, not now!
Do you remember what it's like coming home from school, tired and hungry, and your mom wants to take your picture? Sometimes you're just not in the mood!

"This is a picture of me as a child at our home in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. My mother took it shortly before my 6th birthday in 1960. As you can see, I'm very excited about some 4th of July event we were going to."
