I was in at Best Buy the other day looking at cameras.
My daughter's birthday was back in early July and I decided that September might be a good time to get her present. I surely didn't want to drag it out until December.
There was another mother looking at cameras too.
She was asking the salesman EVERY conceivable question about cameras.
There was a lull in their conversation so I asked for the one I had chosen but alas it was the only one out of stock in the store. So, he went see if he could find me one at another store.
I made light conversation with this expecting mother.
She explained the last camera she had chosen was not cheap at all but very disappointing and she was very worried about which one to buy.
I smiled at her and said, "The very best advice that I can give you about a camera is this: Most of these will take good quality pictures. What you really need with children is a camera with the sport or action setting and the burst mode. A wide angle lens is a must too. Just keep your camera set to sports mode and you will have a much better chance of getting a picture. I promise. Oh, and a huge roll of duct tape works wonders too."
Do you think people would give me funny looks if I tried your duct tape idea on the kiddos to make them sit still in the pew during Mass?
ReplyDeleteIt would be my luck that such an idea would backfire and it would end up in my hair. Or worse yet on the person in front of us. :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad gave me a cartoon a long time age with a lady in a Velcro suit. The child was stuck on her back with the opposing Velcro. I always thought that would be handy too but might be a bear to wash.
