I was expecting pictures of moms on roller coasters

I was browsing around on Flickr yesterday and I found a bunch of groups you can join where you post a picture you took and then people would critique it and give you advice on how to make it better. I wanted to join a couple of them but I was scared to. In all the groups the pictures were so good that I knew my pitiful little attempts at photography would just get ripped apart.

In a flash of brilliance I decided to search for amature photo groups to enter my pictures in.

You know what happens when you type "amature" into the group search box? A group called "Moms looking for fun" comes up.

And do you know what happens when you're really naive? You think "Moms looking for fun? I'm a mom that's looking for fun!" and then you click it and OH MY GOD it is not what you thought it was and then you weep because a little part of your innocence died at the tender age of 31.

Ha! Ah, silly Flickr.

I joined a Flickrgroup called Post 1, leave 3 passive aggressive comments. It's like one if those "advice" groups, but with training wheels, because all of the comments are left in jest. Kind of fun.
