Solana
Lifting the hem of my skirt, carefully, I walked down, my steps echoed off the last hardwood step "Wow!! Solana"
Fell in a daze, as a flash of blinding light grazed my eyes, I blurted "What the heck? is that monstrosity?"
Regaining my sight, Dad chuckled, innocently pulling out a weird device. I glared at the do-kicy, 'It almost blinded me'
"What wrong Solana? It is just a camera?"
"A camera?" repeating the word, suddenly I realized even my phone has something called a camera.
"Why is the flash so bright? You could have just used your phone?"
Proudly he said "Come-on this is an occasion! It's not everyday I get to see my baby girl look like a princess."
"And don't close your eyes. The last one was horrible!" he said, focusing the camera.
"Okay!" I stiffly smiled.
Dad said "No, no. Can't you pose? like you did when you were small"
"Okay, dad. I will try?" I smiled, raising my head, with one foot out and a hand on my hip.
