Don't let your child have a camera

I take alot of pictures. It's nothing for me to rip through 257 photos at a one hour event.Mort likes to play with my camera. I do not like Mort to play with my camera. I gave him an old one that doesn't work to play with, but he doesn't want to play with one; he wants to take pictures with one. Okay, I can get behind that and nurture his creativity and desire to capture moments in time. (Yeah, I know that's not what he's doing, I'm just putting a good spin on it.)

So, for Christmas, he got a camera last night. Now he is taking pictures of the white walls, the carpet, Mommy when she first woke-up and had not yet had coffee, the television, and all are accompanied by, "Look at this!"

In conclusion, do not buy your child a camera or you will have to ooh and ahh over pictures of yourself that you would like to destroy and that he is going to go share at school today. Just sit your child in front of the television and ignore them. It's for the best.
