Okay, this is a weird story. So - our luck - Jacob had his school pictures taken 3 days after a run-in with his grandmother's granite countertop. The proofs were cute, and the black eye cuter. So we order a ridiculously-priced "package," and with this you get the class picture for free. (Really, Jacob is not the most graceful child, and he's wild, so there are always catastrophes of some kind waiting for him.)So we got them back this past week and, sure enough, there's Jacob - the child with the blondest hair smack dab in the middle of the photo - with a massive shiner. Your eyes are kind of drawn to him (you may have to click the picture to see it in all it's glory). Anyway, after Mark and I laugh at the class pic, we pull out the individual photos. There is my sweet boy, smiling like there's candy waiting if he behaves, with NO BLACK EYE. In fact, not only is there no black eye, they have removed the entire lower eyelid wrinkle from his left eye which, in their opinion, was probably better than the alternative - a child who looks like he's been abused. Anyway, despite the cuteness of my son, his face looked uneven and weird without that lower lid. So I called the photo company, and they sent me the un-retouched photo package that I originally ordered. So now everyone may get a photo of Jacob in their Christmas card this year, since I got two packages of like 30 pictures each.
