And man, they were going at it.

And it was not a pleasant evening.

It was not a joyful dinner.

There was not a lot of bliss, not a lot of peace.

And I remember the little girl actually hit her little brother and he started crying and the dad said something he shouldn't have said.

Then the mom was mad at the dad for what he said to the child.

And then the server came over and they said, would you take a picture of our family?

And then all of a sudden, all the noise, all the chaos, all the anger, all the frustration stopped.

And everyone sat down on daddy's lap.

You smiled.

And

And then they took a picture for four seconds.

Hey!

And it was like this blissful, joyous picture that in no way, I'm sure they posed it, in no way represented what was actually going on in that family at any given time during that dinner.

It was four seconds of a fake picture of emotions that weren't taking place.

But imagine if you saw that picture of that amazing family and the minute you see it, you compare it to your family and the mess that you think it is right now.

Or the great time.

Doesn't it seem like everyone on social media is on vacation?

Everyone's partying.

Everyone's somewhere cool.
