Glamour Shot

For a time a taught in a partial hosptialization program. That is a program that is some academics and a lot of therapy.

One of the assignments for a group therapy session was to create a family collage. The students were to bring in pictures of their families and develop some sort of picture that the A-hole therapist would psycho-analyze.

Less than half the class actually brought pictures in. These kids came from really bad family situations I doubt they had a family photo album.

One student who was a particular pain in the neck went all out for the assignment. He brought pictures of everyone. His dad who he hadn't known, His brother that was in jail. His sister who ran away. And a big picture of his mother in lingerie.

I had never heard of Glamour Shots before. But this woman who was well over 300 pounds saw fit to send her son into school with a picture of her laying on a bed in a red.....thing. With her face painted to look like a hooker.

Honest to God it was like something out of a movie.

The kids was so proud of his collage I didn't have the heart to tell him.
