When my kids were graduating from high school, my wife was responsible for ordering graduations pictures. Because she planned to display these in our bedroom, she planned to buy the classic graduation pictures, the girls in drapes and our son in a tuxedo. The plan was to eventually have one picture of each of them, all the same size with our son in the middle for a nice, balanced presentation. My wife didn’t pay attention when she was ordering pictures for our son. Instead of ordering an 8½” x 11” like she had for our oldest daughter, she got a 20” x 24” poster size of our son. She didn’t realize this until the pictures came in. She still used this large photo of our son. She placed several different poses of our oldest daughter around the picture of our son until our youngest daughter graduated. Her graduation pictures were the same size as her sister’s. Their various poses were placed around the giant photo of their brother. We joked that that James is his mother’s favorite because his picture was bigger. Several years later, we were watching the show The Goldbergs and one of the running jokes on the show was that the youngest son, who is her favorite, was obviously the favorite no matter what she said because his photo above their bed was significantly larger that their other two children.
