Unhappy Camper

Posted by Mike Cash (Kiryu, Japan) on 14 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

A child waiting with his mother for the kindergarten bus to come pick up his big sister. When they first walked up, he was adorable. By the time the bus came, he was deplorable. Something ticked him off and he was yelling "Baka!" (idiot) at his mother, hitting her, and slapping a baby in a stroller on top of the head. All the while, his mother patiently did and said nothing...as so many Japanese parents do.

I wanted to get out of the truck and warm up the seat of his britches for him.
