It was back again to school for many kids in the U.S. this week, and Facebook feeds had been flooded with classic first-day photos. You know the ones: a child holds a indication declaring his / her new quality, all smiles and white sneakers, with beaming Dad and mom on either side. Very well, one mom's hysterical back-to-school photography of her daughter going to kindergarten has truly gone viral, and once and for all reason-it's wacky, whether you prefer it or not.

In the photo, professional photographer Jessi Kittrell is sporting a comfy pink robe and slippers while clutching a margarita glass and a bottle of tequila. Her indication says "Bye Felicia!" Her daughter, in ponytails and a busy-print dress, looks significantly less than enthused, holding an indicator that says "1st Working day of Kindergarten." Mother admits the photo was staged-still her "unsentimental" photo is getting mixed reviews.

Most father and mother comb their kid's wild hair, pack a love note found in the lunchbox, situation her by a good tree, thrust an indicator about her new grade level found in her hands and say, "Smile!" "Yet another!" "Yay! You're a BIG youngster now!" Or at least that's what good 'ole perfect Facebook leads us all to believe.

But Kittrell, who owns Cheerful Acres Photography in Gloucester, Virginia, told ABC Media that her controversial viral photography featuring liquor, a snarky indication, and her sulky youngster was brainstormed with good friends and staged. Kittrell also admits it was a way of showing her mixed thoughts about her daughter, Bailey, likely to college. "She's my sidekick. We've gone almost everywhere and done everything along since she was created," Kittrell said. She also says her kiddo is normally a "ham" for the cam.

Commenters online are mostly LOVING this, but there are many naysayers. One commenter writes:

"I didn't enjoy my youngsters going back to college at all. And mine happen to be in 7th and 3rd grades. Probably there's something amiss with my little family but my girls love each other and I essentially LOVE having my youngsters around. We haven't gotten sick and tired of one another yet but we are tired of work and institution sucking up all of our time. Guess that's unusual. :/"

But the most commenters, like this one, have a tendency to see the humor and sliver of truth in the photo: "I believe it's a funny photo. I am a complete time mom, pupil, and employee. It gets stressful often. We definitely need 'me period.'"

We are all eligible for our own opinions. If you ask me, this photo is awesome. My kid returned to institution on Tuesday. The crinkle of snack packs, thump of sneakers, zip of the backpack-all glorious sounds to my ears. I dropped him off and drove straight to the beach, where I laid in the sand in peace.
