On the Easter long weekend, I went to a friend's engagement party. They did a really fun thing and arranged for the guests to play lawn bowls after a very tasty lunch. To manage the large number of people, there was a system of stick-on dots in use, and this little boy wanted to collect as many dots as possible. He stuck them all over the front of his shirt in a serious fashion statement.
The fun started when he asked for his picture to be taken. A lady in his group took the photo, and the boy wanted to see it. Problem? She was using a film camera! Try as she might, she could not explain to this little boy who has obviously only ever seen digital cameras, that she was unable to show him his photo. He thought she was refusing to show him the image - he didn't realise that she couldn't show him.
Anyway, I was able to help out by offering to take his picture on my digital camera. Once he had seen how cool he looked in spots, he was as happy as Larry. Ain't technology wonderful?
