His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Don't put photos of me that even Mom hasn't seen at the wedding!" Layla protested. "Uncle Mike, are you trying to embarrass me on my wedding day?"

"You were cute when you were little!" Mike argued.

"Mike loved taking photos of you when you cried." Avery chuckled.

"Huh?" Layla was confused. "What kind of hobby is that?"

"It's fun! You were such a crybaby, or maybe it just appeared so compared to your brother," Avery said. "When Hayden cried, he just sobbed in silence, and when you cried, it felt like the entire house was shaking."

Layla was rendered speechless with embarrassment. She did not want such things discussed in front of her younger siblings.

"Mike, send me those photos," Avery said. "I think they are great memories."

Layla sighed. "Mom, I remember that Robert cried a lot when he was a kid, too."

"Yeah! All kids are that way, and Hayden was the exception," Avery said. "We can still show some of your childhood photos at the wedding. It will be fun."

"I have to be the one to pick them. I don't want others to laugh at me," Layla insisted. She needed to preserve her reputation.
