As Bey and Blue walk by the lake, Bey's watch beeps. 11:00am. She dramatically turns to Blue with a warm, affectionate smile and clears her throat, giving Blue her "cue." Blue looks at her, confused. Beyonce just stands there, the smile frozen on her face, trying to suppress her anger. She clears her throat louder. Suddenly Blue remembers. When the lady I must call mommy gives me the cue, I smile back. Using Pavlov's electric shock therapy method, Beyonce had spent all morning trying to condition her to smile at the cue. Blue gives Beyonce the sweetest, most adorable smile.
At that precise moment, a photographer emerges from behind a bush and snaps mother and daughter giving each other the world's most loving smile. He photoshops Beyonce's laugh lines out of the picture, widens her thigh gap and emails it to all media outlets. Beyonce gives him a quick satisfied nod and keeps walking. Mission accomplished.

Plus there's still the video and all of her singles have been video driven
