MOM: Don't steal any of those.
TEEN: Steal? Why would I steal pictures of myself? I could sell them on Ebay. Bet I could make a killing, people are always looking for 10 year old Polaroids of complete strangers. I'm not going steal any of them, alright? I told you, I just need a couple for a school project.
MOM: Well don't take any of them permanently.
TEEN: Like stealing them, I got it.
MOM: Some of them are very dear to me.
TEEN: What is this?
MOM: What?
TEEN: This! My head is missing! Did you cut my head out of a family picture?
MOM: Of course not.
TEEN: There's more! There's at least 10 pictures in here with either my head or my whole body cut out.
MOM: I don't know how that could be. Maybe I did it for a scrapbook awhile back.
TEEN: Why just me?
MOM: Honestly, I don't recall.
TEEN: You literally cut me out of the family!
MOM: Okay. Yes. I did.
TEEN: Why?
MOM: Because I was angry with you.
TEEN: So you cut me out of the family pictures.
MOM: What would you rather I do? Ground you? Hit you?
TEEN: What did I do?
MOM: I don't remember. It was years ago.
TEEN: I can't believe you'd do that. I'm like six years old in this picture.
MOM: Well we were both very upset, your father and I. He took you out of the will.
TEEN: I did something so terrible that Dad took me out of the will and you cut me out of the family pictures, but you can't remember what it was?
MOM: They say 'forgive and forget' and that's what we did. Once we calmed down, your father put you back in the will. And I would have repaired the pictures also had I not burnt the removed portions in an old soup can.
TEEN: You did that?
MOM: Well of course I feel awful about it now.
