Kevin Leroy visited the studio for a photo session. His mother desired a range of images to adorn mugs, keychains, and a large canvas print. Traditionally, young girls in our country celebrate their 15th birthday with a glamorous photoshoot featuring ball gowns and signature attire. However, few boys opt for this alternative.
When I talk to them, they almost always say 篓they're not for that, that's for girls篓, to which a very tired mother replies with a face of 篓that boy is impossible篓 while they roll their eyes.
Kevin's mother informs me that, after much negotiation between them, Kevin eventually consented to have his photos taken, albeit with a few conditions. There would be no need for suits or ties, his mother agreed, but he would have to wear a shirt at least. There would be no need for suits or ties, his mother agreed, but he would have to wear a shirt at least. He accepted the condition, but expressed that he would personally select the shirt.
Another condition was that he would choose the picture in the living room, since his friends visited his house and he didn't want to be embarrassed. Mom agreed because she thought it was fair and because moms are the best 馃槈.
It was also noted that the photo on the mug and keychain belonged to her. He agreed, stating, "In the end, she'll be the one drinking from that cup. I can't walk around with my face on the glass."
Finally and as a culmination of a negotiation worthy of the UN, Kevin told his mom that since he was going to make the sacrifice of the photos 馃槅, she should put a new battery in his cell phone that had broken 馃ぃ.
And that's how Kevin Leroy and his mom got their pictures.

Kevin Leroy es un chico que fue a tomarse unas fotos al estudio. Su mam谩, quer铆a unas fotos suyas, para tener en varios objetos como tazas, llaveros y una lienzograf铆a tama帽o considerable. En nuestro pa铆s, las ni帽as que arriban a sus 15 a帽os suelen hacerse fotos con grandes trajes de princesa y gala, adem谩s de vestuarios propios, pero... son pocos los varones que optan por esta opci贸n.
Cuando converso con ellos, casi siempre dicen que 篓no est谩n pa麓 eso, que es cosa de ni帽as篓 A lo que una muy cansada mam谩 responde con cara de 篓este ni帽o es imposible篓 mientras ponen los ojos en blanco. Yo me rio bastante con este tipo de escenas, porque suelen ser muy comunes aunque por supuesto cada quien cree que solo les pasa a ellos.
Kevin, nos cuenta su mam谩, despu茅s de mucha negociaci贸n entre ellos, finalmente accedi贸 a hacerse fotos, con varias condiciones jajajaja. No deb铆a de haber trajes ni corbatas, a lo que su mam谩 le dijo que si, pero que al menos tenia que usar una camisa, 茅l le dijo que si, pero 茅l mismo escog铆a la camisa.
Otra condici贸n era, que la foto que iba en la sala de la casa la escog铆a 茅l, pues sus amiguitos visitan su casa y no quer铆a pasar verg眉enza. Mam谩 accedi贸 porque lo consider贸 justo y porque las mam谩s son las mejores.
Ella entonces sum贸 que la de la taza y el llavero las escog铆a ella. El estuvo de acuerdo porque, 篓al final en esa taza va a tomar ella, ni loco yo voy a andar por ah铆 con la cara m铆a pegada en el vaso篓 me coment贸 茅l luego.
Por 煤ltimo y como colof贸n de una negociaci贸n digna de la ONU, Kevin le dijo a su mam谩 que ya que el iba a hacer el sacrificio de las fotos 馃槅, ella que le pusiera una bater铆a nueva a su celular que se hab铆a roto 馃ぃ.
Y as铆 es como Kevin Leroy y su mam谩 tienen sus fotos 馃槀.
