She Just Saw The Picture Of A Naked Woman On My Camera

My son Zach absolutely loves Dara. He asks after her all the time and always wants to be on her team when we are playing anything... Monopoly, backgammon, chess, you name it.

This evening we were watching "Finding Nemo" for the gazillionth time. (Why Zach feels the need to watch a movie on cable when we own it on DVD I will never understand.) Midway through the movie Zach gets up off his favorite spot on the carpet and crawls into Dara's lap. (She has said that this bowls her over each time.)

The kitchen timer goes off, Zach's pasta is ready. As I bring it out to him I cannot help but melt with affection at the sight of him splayed out on top of her, his left hand reaching out above his head to touch her hair. I put his bowl down and dig into my backpack for my camera.

"I want to see, I want to see." Zach says after the flash goes off a few times.

"Do you realize that a few years ago you had to wait about a week before you could see the pictures you had taken" I joke with him.

Dara reaches out, takes the camera from me and shows him the pictures that I have taken. She goes back one frame too many. Her face falls. Zach laughs hysterically. I grab the camera. She has seen a picture of Angie posing naked while lying on her bed. Ooops, double ooops.

Dara stands up and rushes upstairs.

"Where did Dara go? What is she doing?" Zach asks a few moments later.

How do tell him that she is upset because she saw the picture of another woman naked on my camera?
