The Divorced Dad

Divorced Dad can be spotted a mile away. It's his day with the kids and they've guilt tripped him in to taking them to see Santa. He stands awkwardly in the queue, sure that he's not doing something right. When asked the children's name and age he reddens, under pressure as if in an exam hall. 'What age are you again?', he jokingly asks them. He fidgets and taps his foot until it is time to go in.


With Divorced Dad, taking the photo is easy. Regardless of it's quality, he will always say he's happy with the first picture. The visit is brief, the photo is collected and he moves on as quickly as possible. He knows that the kids will probably come again next week with mummy and assumes they will have a much better time.
