Don’t let your children hide in the closet, please all the father and mother

My five-year-old daughter, whom I'll name May, developed an unexpected interest in photography around a month ago. She most likely saw someone with a camera on television and decided she wanted one. She begged us for a camera for two weeks, and my husband and I decided that we wanted to support her and her interests. We bought her a simple and inexpensive digital camera and gave it to her as a gift. We showed her how to use it, which was basically just pointing and clicking, and promised to have her favourite images printed.

May carried her camera everywhere she went and photographed everything. We frequently had to remove a large number of blurry photos to create way for more. She was also very adept at following restrictions, such as not photographing other people without their permission, not pointing the camera at the sun, and always wearing the wrist strap. My spouse and I were overjoyed because we imagined we were raising a future photographer.

I had a day off last week and decided to go run some errands. May came with me because my husband was at work and there was no one to supervise her. She didn't mind, as long as she could have her camera with her. We went to the post office, the bank, and a huge clothing store since I wanted a new top for an upcoming party. Dee and I entered, and she immediately began photographing some glittering gowns. As I gazed around, I basically ignored her, keeping her in the back of my mind.
