I actually witnessed a scene like this, many years ago. It was just before Christmas and I was making a delivery to a Sears photo studio. The place was jam packed with parents and their children, and to this day, I have never forgotten the tableau spread out before me…
Two of the kids were screaming, another wouldn’t stop arguing with her mom, still another was running around the studio, with his arms spread, making ‘jet plane’ noises’ ( Almost ran into me…. ) and this one kid was kicking the legs of his chair and chanting a little mantra, ( out loud, of course. )
“I wanna see toys…I wanna see toys….I wanna see toys….I wanna see toys…”
Lio is discovering at an early age that a photographer’s lot is not a happy one. After this, perhaps Ishy or a zombie or a drooling monster or two will help Lio recover.
@Colt9033: No wildlife in the suburbs? We have plenty of racoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, crows, and other critters here less than two miles from the Port of Los Angeles. I haven’t seen any foxes, but they are around. There have been reports of coyotes in the area, but no bears (other Los Angeles suburbs have serious bear and coyote problems).
As for how the wildlife views the situation, see “Over the Hedge.”
The third kind of wildlife is an older version of what Lio is facing. It’s called “party time.”
I live in the suburbs, and late at night I sometimes see deer grazing in the back yard, and the occasional fox running by. It’s really something to see.

What was he suppose to be originally taking photos….there no wild life in suburbia.

It’s time to bring out Lio’s assistants, Ishy & Cybil. Show them what wildlife is really like.

Doesn’t get any wilder. Unless, of course, it’s Gene Wilder.

Perhaps they mean to use them as live bait to lure the wildlife out?

Never let your children get spoiled. They taste so much better when they’re fresh.

I just thought of a series of Cat Williams jokes about certain kinds of parents and how they raise their kids. That’s all I could think about.

They’ll have a pretty good chance at getting a decent picture.

No, no, folks. Lio wants to take pictures of man-eating tigers, and bears, and lions. In other words, something calm.
