In an interview, parent Rachel Fjeld told WTKR that her son was sitting to have his school picture taken when the photographer allegedly asked him, "Can I steal your identity?" and "Can I eat your soul?"

"You can say all the things you want to say about good vs. evil, God vs. the devil, or demons or whatever, but at the end of the day what was said was not funny, and it wasn't OK. It was a child in an uncomfortable situation," Fjeld said. "I know people are trying to say, 'Oh she's just joking. It was just funny,' but it's not funny. That's not funny. And what that doesn't do is put any child at ease, it just scares them."

"She asked him, 'Can I steal your identity?' His response was just, 'No.' Her next question was, 'Can I eat your soul?' And, you know, when he was expressing it to us he was crying, he was very upset and he said ‘No, no,’" Fjeld said of the exchange between her son and the photographer.

"Her next question was, 'Well, then what can I eat?' He told me, he said, 'Mommy I didn't know what to say so I said the first thing that came to mind was, 'You can have noodles, you can eat noodles,' and her response was, 'Demons don't eat noodles.'"

She sounds way more fun than your average school photographer.

I didn't know Aphex Twin was a school picture photographer these days. Recession hits everyone!
