Even film stars have embarrassing school photos.
That is why today I held my ground with my 5-year-old who was determined to wear a scunchie in her hair.
“But it will look pretty,” Miss 5 reasoned.
“No, no a scrunchie is not your best option,” I replied tentatively. She is 5 she has a tendency to win arguments in our house because it’s easier that way. “No, you will not be wearing a scrunchie in your school photo. You will thank me later.”
Instead, I pulled a bit of hair back and tied a gorgeous blue ribbon in it.
*insert photo of her looking gorgeous here* *she refused* *I let her her win that battle*
I just wish my Mum had stepped in when I went to school photo day on these days.
What was I thinking?
And just to make me feel better, here’s some pics of our Prime Minster when she was at school.
And again, George Clooney.
Jokes aside I want to leave you with this.
Overheard this morning at school drop-off. Boy in Miss 5’s class: “Look at everyone all ready for school photos. Oh My God, look at Miss 5. I can’t take my eyes off of her”.
And so it begins.

Hi, I'm Bianca Wordley, I write about life.
ROFL, you are one funny lady and I can see your humour started way back in high school.
You will notice that you were considerably older when your mum didn’t ‘step in’. I got a feeling Miss 5 might be sporting that scrunchie in her year 9 photos instead… x
Remember those massive fabric headbands? I wish I didnt, but I do because I sported one for my year five school photo.. It’s even twisted at the top.. And it was Fluro pink. The shame….
But school photos are the classic time line of evolution!! Our PM hasn’t evolved much though. I’m off to my 20 year school reunion later this year, can’t wait to see the flash back photos. With my children, i love the toothless pictures or ‘my sister cut my hair’ years, love Posie

oh the joys of school photos…could sometimes be used as blackmail.
I am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
Oh, George! I reckon I still would’ve been in love with him at school. I saw him speak in Sydney last year and he was divine (ha ha).
I saw Catherine’s bird on your FB page, my mother is so guilty of making me look *insert rude word* in my school photos. I hate them all.
Oh, the teased fringes I had. I can never go back.
I had a twin brother and caused no end of problems by moving about in each others school photo’s – he even had a wedding photo in prized position of me and his new wife – over 25 years without realising the swap!
