Hope my daughter didn't ruin this photographers day too badly.

Shame there isn't an award for hyperbole. You'd be a lock...

Too bad there isn't an award for posters who say 'bye' only to come back. Time after time. You'd be a lock...

As far as lying goes, give me a break. Ever tell your wife that 'yes dear, those jeans do make your ass look fat'. This isn't a capital murder case here.

I don't have a wife, I'm female. (oh...the photo...that is my (now) dead father in that photo...I miss him every day)

I didn't make a capital case out of it. I said it was the thing that bothered me most. I actually am entitled to be of that opinion. Also, just to make it clear...I stated that she lied...I didn't write that your daughter is a liar. Please don't indicate that I wrote something that I did not write.

Thanks.

Sorry for your loss.

I guess you're going to win this hair splitting contest. Congrats. 22 pages in, you have 'proven' my daughter told a white lie.

Savor your internet victory, and if I were you put it on your resume. It will serve you well if you ever run for Queen of the Internet.

I thought he was "done" back on page 3, or was it 9, or 13.... With all of the drama I have lost track.

That was proven in less pages than that...but she got that from you. You lose...we good parents won.

Thank you...I appreciate that. He was a USMC Vietnam veteran. He died in 2009 from Agent Orange complications.

I just wanted to clear some things up that seem to have gotten mixed up in all the emotions of these 22 pages. Like I stated earlier, I don't condemn you or your daughter...I simply don't agree with what she did. She can well do that, if she wants to...and she did.

I don't think any of this could help my resume...but if you know something I don't...

Oh, I have to address this...she DIDN'T tell a "white lie"...she flat out lied.

When I tell my wife that her ass doesn't look fat in her jeans...THAT is a white lie.

If the photographer had said "You can't do that, this is a serious photo," and the girl had refused to take off the scarf and change her expression, I'd call it misbehavior. Instead, the photographer simply said "Are you sure?" and didn't object. It doesn't seem that he had a problem with the gag photo. If a teacher or other adult employed at the school was present and didn't intervene, it also doesn't seem that a school rule was broken. (I doubt that a school would have a rule like that written down.) So why are people who've read about the incident condemning this kid and her parents?

Oh my, someone getting serious.. We can't have that... STONE THEM...

So... It's just fine to tell your fat a$$ wife that she looks great is those pair of stuffed sausage jeans...

but...

It not ok for a little girl to pretend she has a European mother.

I actually don't have a WIFE...I'm female...I was using that, since it was previously stated, to establish the difference between a white lie and a flat out lie.

I didn't write that it was or wasn't ok for the girl to say what she said...I stated that it isn't a WHITE lie...it's a lie.

*hurumph!!* So, you lied!!

And where is that line between while lie and lie? Is there a manual or something?

This thread needs a Gold Plated Award !

It's almost as funny as the "I took my 70-200 to a wedding" thread.

a thin line...yes.

and I had to reread your post...at first I thought you were also trying to insult my Hispanic gardener...I was trying to figure out how you knew his name!
