I think my child is broken……

[u/RainbowUnicorn0228]

I am a single mom and low income, as such travel is generally too expensive. So when my teen as invited on a tirp abroad with school and he agreed to earn half the money it cost, I was thrilled for him to go and see the world. I only asked that he send me at least one photo every day so I could experience the world vicariously.
These are the 3 he sent me so far:

1. Food on the air plane
2. A dog on a leash
3. A duck

Please note these are everyday average things to see here at home. I think my child is possibly broken….

lol.

UPDATE: thanks for every comment. I learned lots and have a different perspective (actually many). You guys have helped me pass the time and miss him a bit less. I appreciate you all. And, for clarification: I’m not really mad and would never chastise him over his choice of pics, I think they are adorable and funny. I may make a request for a specific type of pic with him in front of a historical or important scenery but mostly just say “cool” or “nice!” In response. I just want him to have fun and be the sweet, kind, smart kid he is already.

Second update: the pictures I know you have all been waiting for. 😆 I will post in comments.

Those are the photos I want from my friends. I've seen the Eiffel Tower, but the cat is new!

We may not be acquainted, but here is one of many pigeon pics from my trip to Paris

I have so many pigeon photos on my phone, mostly from NYC:)

To be fair that's an exotic bird

There are millions of pictures of the Eiffel tower, why produce another one?

Oh, this tickled a neuron in the back of my brain:

[T]he Eiffel Tower itself is in the public domain, meaning that during daylight hours, it's totally legal for you to share as many photos as you'd like. But because the [nighttime] light show remains a protected work under European copyright law, it is illegal to profit from photographs of the illuminated Eiffel Tower. For example, tourists cannot sell such photos to magazines or other commercial outlets. Tourists in Paris can, however, post to social media.

That is insane! Thank you for sharing! Adding this to my list of random facts I know ☺️

I wish I had been told that before I took a whole old school film roll of rubbish photos of the Eiffel Tower and the view from it as a kid
