Boo Freakin’ Hoo, Lady!
I can’t decide if this story was worth registering at the Post for:
A Queens couple claims their daughter’s memories of elementary school have been marred by a “horrible” yearbook photo, and are demanding the school recall all 200 books and replace the picture.
Michelle Maihepat, of South Ozone Park, said her 11-year-old daughter, Asheana, is so embarrassed by the “bad picture” that she has been crying and hiding her face in shame from her sixth-grade classmates at PS 121 since the yearbooks were distributed Monday.
“For the rest of her life, she’s going to have to be ashamed of that horrible picture,” Maihepat said.
“Twenty years down the line, she’s going to look at this book with her friends, and her friends are going to say, ‘What happened to you there?'”
If the Post keeps writing Onion-worthy stories like this, I might have to check them more often! This, for example — too much:
Posted: June 17th, 2005 | Filed under: Tragicomic, Ironic, Obnoxious Or AbsurdA teary-eyed Asheana said the episode has upset her so much that she has decided to skip graduation next week.
The family says anything less than a total recall is not good enough, reasoning that the yearbook is Asheana’s legacy among all her classmates at PS 121.
“Who knows, one day she might be famous or have a lot of money and someone could blackmail her with that picture,” Maihepat said.
