Group Photos

Today was group photos day at school.  One of those days when I really love my job.  Looking through the photos to put the names in order, so many of them made me smile.  The actual photos were taken in the middle of a courtyard, with no shade.  Several comments, thrown here and there:

Girl seated in front row: It's nice and shady here.
Me: That's because the people standing behind you are providing you with shade.
Girl: Yeah, I like being short.

Girl: I know it looks like I'm shorter, but honestly, I'm taller, I promise.
Me:  Well you better stand up really straight, then.
Girl [extending her neck as tall as it will go]: See?!

Photographer [to me]: Which side are you going to stand on? 
Me:You're making me pick a side?
Girls, waving hands in the air and wearing biggest winning smiles: Pick this side, this one!!!
