It's kinda fun at first but then it gets annoying - the back-to-school photos on social media.
The parents of today love to show off their kids and celebrate them. I get it but I'm seeing a number of people from Generation X and Baby Boomers making fun of it.
One of my friends writes, "In my day, we just went to school...for us it was eat your breakfast and get walking - no pics for us."
I believe I only posed for one back-to-school photo when I was a boy and that was my very first day of school - kindergarten in September of 1970. We lived on Coldwell Road in Regina, and I would attend Sherwood School. I remember that morning clearly. Some of the neighbour kids posed with me as my mom snapped a shot with the Kodachrome.
I still have that photo. It's a black and white. Apparently, we weren't worthy of the colour film. I know we had some. But it's OK. I'm not sour. I remember the cardigan I was wearing was navy blue.
