Disclaimer: This entry was written when I was extremely tired, had (perhaps) had a drink or two, and would have preferred to be in bed, fetal position, sucking my thumb.
Everybody knows Dr. BJ is a sucker for a camera – especially if he is the only one in the frame. In addition, he is notorious for not editing or deleting photos. Thus, once they’re made public, everyone can see your ‘why I’m single facial expression,’ muffin top, poor posture and anything else he manages to capture and not edit or delete.
With his deer antlers on, he was ready for photo opps and kindly offered to allow us to take one (or more) with his camera. As he started posing, we pulled out Donald Trunk. “It isn’t a real photo shoot until Donald is here,” Live Longer advised. Dr. BJ agreed, pulled Donald up over his pants, and Live Longer started snapping photos and providing direction, “a little to your right, eyes down, arm up, stick your bum out a little…” “Thumb suck,” Dr. BJ interjected and then stuck his thumb in his mouth while pouting slightly. “Oh, yes. I like that,” Live Longer told him and then asked me, “Why haven’t we ever done that? From here on out, we’re doing it!”
After seeing the photos, I realized Live Longer might be on to something. With everything else that is happening (and unedited) in our pictures, thumb sucking should be the least of our worries and could actually take our sexy street cred up several notches.
