And Another Thing...

When filling out a passport application for said four-week-old child, they ask for her height. Do they think this will be useful in identifying her?

Like Pulling Hens' Teeth...

Ever tried taking a passport photo of a four-week-old child? The documentation says the child must be:

• Directly facing the camera;
• With both ears in view;
  
• Holding her head square on her shoulders;
• With her mouth shut;
• And her eyes wide open, so the colour can be seen;
• Not frowning;
• Not smiling;
• On a plain, light-coloured background;
• With no hands in view (mine or hers);
• Not too light;
• Not too dark; and
• Not too out of focus.

Sigh. There are maybe one or two here I can use.
