Capturing the Impossible

Parents and pet owners alike are constantly fighting to capture the impossible: the cute moments of their children and/or pets. Children and animals always try to impress with their giggles, smiles, puppy/kitty eyes, and endearing actions, but the charm is turned off whenever cameras come into play. It's like they have this sixth sense, a trigger in their brains that sounds the alarm whenever a camera is present. It is a rare occasion when a snapshot can be taken of a cute moment and an even more scarce occasion when a video of charming entertainment can be made. Maybe it's because they already know abut the web and what it will do to their futures. Maybe they know those pictures and videos will be placed on facebook and youtube for the world to see. Maybe they know their parents/pet owners will use it as a tactic of embarassment when they are older and have long forgotten the event. Are they smarter than we think? Are they smarter than us? I'm not sure because maybe the children and pets have brought it on themselves. Anymore, capturing a compromisingly cute picture is a fantastical event that must immediatey be shared with family and friends, maybe even the world. Parents and pet owners are so excited they finally got a picture that they can't restrain themselves from spreading the news of their achievement. If it was an every day occurence maybe parents and pet owners wouldn't feel the need to let the whole world know. Then again, maybe they would. I wouldn't know. I rarely capture the impossible.
