Back to School: A Hilarious Twist on First Day Photos

It’s that time of year again—back to school! Time to dust off those new shoes, grab the pencil cases, and… is that a margarita I see? That’s exactly what one mom, Mandy Thompson, used for her kid’s first day of school photo, and honestly, I’m totally here for it!

Mandy’s Viral Snapshot

Mandy, a professional photographer and mom of three, recently went viral with a hilarious snapshot she took with her daughter before her little one started kindergarten. Instead of the usual cute signs and props, Mandy rocked a bright pink robe while holding a sign that said “Bye Felicia” and a margarita in the other hand. It’s a refreshing twist on the traditional first-day photo that usually floods our feeds.

She shared this gem on her business Facebook page, and it quickly gained traction, amassing nearly 15,000 shares! The post also made its way to a local news site where it racked up over 200,000 likes. Mandy told Buzzfeed that her fun take on the photo was her way of coping with the back-to-school nerves that come with sending her youngest off to kindergarten.

The Rise of First-Day Photos

These first-day photos have exploded in popularity thanks to social media platforms that encourage us to share life’s milestones. While most parents opt for sweet, sentimental images, Mandy’s cheeky approach is a much-needed reminder that parenting doesn’t have to be all seriousness. Sending kids off to school can be a tough time for both parents and children, but Mandy’s photo shows that it’s totally okay to have some laughs while you navigate the chaos of school supplies, new friends, and all that jazz.

Embrace Your Own Style

If you’re not feeling up for a Pinterest-level photo shoot for your kid’s first day, take a page from Mandy’s book! Do whatever brings you joy and helps you relax. And hey, if that means sipping a margarita at 8:45 a.m., more power to you!
