View of Paris looking out to Sacre Coeur from the Eiffel Tower

A Family Portrait

It had been a wonderful week in Paris.  Grandmamma and Grandpappa Lowenbrau, Mother, Great Aunt Eunice, the Danger Twins and Little Wendy were spending the day atop the Eiffel Tower. Little Wendy noticed a peculiar, old fashioned photo booth in a hidden corner of the deuxième etage.

“Husband, we shall celebrate this moment with a likeness.” Grandmamma strode into the booth as Grandpappa inserted the required coins.

There was a loud flash and Grandamma emerged dressed as a queen dripping with diamonds and ermine.

“Grandmamma!” squealed little Wendy.

“Us next!” the Danger Twins bustled inside. A briilliant flash later and they emerged, one as an astronaut, the other a cowboy.

Wendy had already run inside and emerged a pink fairy.

Mother went inside and came out….as herself.

Grandpappa went in next. After the flash a small frog hopped out under the curtain.

“Ribbit” said Grandfather, and he meant it!

Great Aunt Eunice was last.

She emerged dressed in a black corset and high heeled boots carrying a riding crop.

“Well that is just typical.” Sighed mother.
