Today at a family reunion, we wanted to take a group picture. We asked a passerby to be our photographer.

As she was taking our picture, another passerby approached her and went: “shall I take it, so you can be in the picture, too?” She went: “Oh no, thanks, they’re no family of mine.”

As his face fell, she realised that she needed to clarify, and added that she was literally just a stranger taking a photograph. The guy nearly pissed himself laughing. So did we, but nobody caught it on camera, so we’re left with a picture of just the boring posed smiles.

I guess my favourite line from Six Feet Under applies here.
