I’m so upset – I’m mortified. I need a real cool place to hide.

I never will let one soul see this ugly, gross picture of me.

I can’t believe I looked like that for ever just one second flat.

My face looks squished. My nose looks pug. And my left eyeball looks like a bug!

This photograph must disappear. I’d die if my friends saw it here.

Wait…mom is talking to my dad, I think things might not be so bad.

I think she’s solved my problem, yup! She said she’s gonna blow it up!
