The Camera Game


Here's the gist: I take a picture of Hannah and then quickly show it to her on the viewfinder before the image disappears. She laughs and gets excited, then grabs the camera away from me and presses a bunch of buttons. At first this caused me to hesitate and fear for the life of my camera. But my little digital clunker is so easy to use that Hannah remembers the button that takes the picture. She has to be reminded some times which button that it is (because the other buttons and functions of the camera are more interesting) but she has to be reminded a lot less than I would have expected. So, she presses the button and I show her the picture she just took (of me, or of the floor or of the ceiling), which she finds absolutely hilarious. She lets me take another picture of her, and so forth... Here is our latest exchange. This game never gets old...
