Sadie here. Today’s post is brought to you by the letter D for duped and the number 3 for my third finger…because it’s up in the air right now, facing my mom’s bedroom. Just because she can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
To all my fellow bloglets out there who’ve been through something similar, this one’s for you:
Today I discovered that Mother Bird’s been sneaking behind my back, taking before and after pictures of my face. Okay, it’s not like she tiptoed into my room while I was sleeping (though I wouldn’t put it passed her). She had me pose with my siblings for pictures right before bed (pajama snuggles! cheese!). I’m sans make-up, looking just shy of my worst when she lures me using tiny people, then crops my face to show how great the recent facial cleansing regimen has been to my skin.
Before: acne!
After: less acne!
{Pictures have been removed to halt further embarrassment to “face model”}
Thanks Mom. Having zits isn’t enough, let’s show the world a magnified portrait of my facial volcanoes.
I know there’s benefit from a good before and after picture, but there’s also a little thing called consent and our beloved Mother Bird? She doesn’t have it.
That’s all for now. If you need me, I’ll be holed up in my room researching photography and the law.
In truth,
Sadie Peck
