Husband Loses His Camera Privileges for Good

Scene: A beautiful Fall day at the Pumpkin Patch with Little Guy and Husband. We're all feeling happy to have found this great pumpkin patch complete with two petting zoos, a treehouse play area, hay rides, and a caramel apple stand. The weather is gorgeous. It's the kinda day that's perfect for taking pictures.
_____________________________

Me: Husband, do you think you can take some pictures of me and Little Guy while we walk around?

Husband: Sure.

Me: Can you just make sure that when you take the pictures, you get my whole head in the shot?

Husband: Of course!

Me: Well, it's just that you have this habit of cutting off my head when you take pictures of me and Little Guy and it's really annoying.

Husband: Don't worry. I said I'd get some good pictures of you.

Me: OK, we're going to walk towards the petting zoo now. Can you get some candids of us with the animals? I don't really want to pose or anything.

Husband: Sure.

Three minutes go by.

Husband (rushing up to me with the camera): I got the shot! I got the shot!

Me: You didn't cut my head off did you?

Husband (holding out camera to me): Just look!


















Husband: Isn't that cool?! Those two goats were getting it on!

Me: *speechless*

For the long term, it's probably just as well to be married to a guy with a sense of humor! I assume you're getting that one framed for the mantel?
