A middle school student’s back-to-school photo is ruined by a surprise guest

When a photo becomes a memorable memory

In France, too, the back-to-school photo is a deeply rooted ritual. We keep them, we display them on the fridge, we rediscover them years later with affection. They remind us how quickly children change. But this family won’t remember this back-to-school season for a botched haircut or a mismatched schoolbag… but for that  unexpected scare at the foot of a tree .

In conclusion: vigilance… and memories guaranteed

A story that is both funny and a little disturbing, reminding us that nature sometimes likes  to slip into our most mundane moments . For ShaneJoy and Brooke, this day will remain  etched in their memories and in their photo albums .

So, the next time you’re taking a back-to-school photo in the garden or at a park… take a look behind your child. You never know: a surprise guest might have slipped into the picture!
