When your are born, there is a lot of paperwork. You are a human being who wasn’t here in this world before, but now you are. Part of that process is making an ID card. Here in Japan it is called a MyNumber Card. Like with all ID photos, I was instructed not to smile. So guess what I did.
The weird thing is that I haven’t quite worked out how to smile yet. I’ve been practicing with Mommy and Daddy a lot, but I’ve never smiled this much before. What an odd time to break out all my best smiles.
Mommy and Daddy tried to get me to smile again after these ID photos but I wouldn’t crack even the smallest grin.
