| Never Trust a Lobster |
Tier and Linda took a lot of photos of me yesterday, some inside stores. The sales people did not seem to mind, in fact some of them were smiling. A man taking photos of his daughter at another mall did not fare as well as we did. His 5-year old was eating an ice cream cone at the counter in the food court. To protect the little girls privacy, I won't post the photo of what the Dad immediately uploaded to his FB page. It would be exactly the kind of picture Linda would take. We have so many photos in stores, malls, parks, beaches, and public streets with Tier and Taylor doing fun things. For instance, I bet this photo of Tier and two lobsters might seem a little suspicious to someone looking for suspicious activity. Anyway, the seat the girl was sitting on was a little white motorcycle and she looked adorable eating her ice cream. Before he knew it, the Dad was accosted by mall cops who demanded his camera phone and took him into a back room. The security force said he might be a terrorist and taking photos of the area as surveillance. He explained he is just a Dad taking a photo of his kid eating ice cream on a cool chair. They called the real police who also grilled him on his motives for taking the picture. Eventually, they apologized and let the man go. The mall also changed it's policy about interrogating people taking photos of their family and friends.
