    Violent behavior from playing video games? Try destructive tendencies from watching too much Sound of Music! :)

    Does this look like a set-up picture to anyone else?

    Yeah… I thought about that too. Life imitates art? So much :)

    The little girl may have chosen to cut herself a dress from the curtains on her own, but I think the photo may have been staged after that. Because of the scissors and the convenient proximity of the curtain to a corner. Still, it’s a cute photo!

    Try imitating Enchanted, where the princess cuts out dresses from all the curtains– much more likely for a little girl to imitate, though I agree this does look pretty staged…

    Looks like something from an advertisement to me. The “dress” is cut out too perfectly for a little girl to do it. Especially since it starts up higher then she is tall!

    I can’t shake the feeling that I have seen a picture like that before. It’s like a Norman Rockwell picture or something and whoever took this picture is recreating it. BUt I can’t remember where I have seen the picture.

  8. [...] Can we talk about this? Do you think this *may* be a wee-bit harsh? I hear time-out is pretty effective… [...]
