I hated this for two reasons:
1. I rarely ever got to the mirror without cracking a smile, or
2. I got to the mirror with attitude in tow only to be shocked that I didn't look as cute as Alissa Milano when she gave Tony Danza attitude.
Technology has brought me a step further as a parent. The other day, my oldest was throwing a spectacular hissy and I picked up the camera and captured it. After our altercation was over, I deleted that picture at his request, but here are the pictures that followed it. I think you can tell that he was not happy with his paparazzi Mom!
Here's the first picture taken once he realized that I was capturing him on film...
Here are the pictures I took of him trying to confiscate the camera. Sean Penn has nothing on my child!!!

I'm making a major mental note ot that strategy. Your kid is so handsome and grown up.
Who would know? 35 years later and I find out you paid attention. I wish I had had a camera, but it was a lot of fun to see you look in that mirror with that attitude and find out you weren't as cute as you thought. You were still pretty cute to me but it would never have passed my lips in the moment.
I loved having the Dori Formby attitude much better than if I had to have the Alissa Milano attitude.
