What I think is cool is how the OP was able to get this kid to say almost the exact things from that old Jack Handy bit:

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell
him is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute
thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."

Trying to think of how to word this original post, while attempting to throw in a little humor at the same time was a challange.. I really wouldn't do weddings for several reasons ....

1.) I don't know how...
2.) I don't have the correct equipment
3.) I have a fear of screwing up someones most important day
4.) I dont' want to end up in court by making someone look fat...

I really don't like to shoot children .. (with a camera)

1.) I dont' know how
2.) I do have some OK equipment, but still don't know how
3.) My wife and I have run a home day-care preschool for the last 35 years - and love kids, but ..... I have a hard time taking portraits...

So ............... trees are so much more attractive...

I could have ended this sooner, but it's amusing hearing really ignorant folks throw out the "Douchbag" and "Grupmy old man" names...

Want a picture of a tree? - 16x20 framed = $180

There's nothing more exciting than to be shot at............... and missed! ... Then, you're alive like you've never been before..

i think you missed the point. nobody is complaining about anything not being politically correct. some people just don't find the delivery all that funny.. especially when it's a recycled joke that we've all heard before. just because someone doesn't share your taste in humor doesn't mean that they're being uptight or overly PC about it. if anything, some people just didn't catch the sarcasm in it. i'm glad you and the OP are on the same wavelength though.
