Photograph

Photographs often convey simple joyful family moments, and families save them for this very reason. The little girl in this photo is smiling as she leads her mother or grandmother toward a pin the tail on the donkey game attached to the wall nearby. One tail already pinned near the donkey's nose suggests that the girl already had her turn. Pin the tail games probably originated as folk games, with animals drawn up on sheets tacked to the wall. Today magnets and velcro take the place of more dangerous pins.
