The Baby Photographer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family.On the day the proxy fatherwas to arrive ,Mr Smith kissed his wife good bye and said,"Well i,m off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later ,just by chance,a door- to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell ,hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning,Ma,am",he said ,"I,ve come to....."
"Oh , no need to explain," Mrs Smith cut in ,embarrassed,
"I,ve been expecting you."
"Have you really?"said the photographer."Well ,thats good.
Did you know babies are my speciality?"
"Well thats what my husband and I had hoped.Please come in and have a seat"
After a moment she asked , blushing"Well where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me .I usually try two in the bath-tub,one in the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed.And sometimes the living room floor is fun.You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub,living room floor?No wonder it didn,t work out for Harry and me!"
"Well Ma,am none of us can guarantee a good one everytime.But if we try several different positions and i shoot from six or seven different angles ,I,m sure you,ll be pleased with the results"
"My, thats a lot!" gasped Mrs Smith.
"Ma,am, in my line of work a man has to take his time.I,d love to be in and out in five minutes,but i,m sure you,d be disappointed with that ."
"Don,t i know it,"said Mrs Smith quietly.
The photogragher opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures"This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh my God!"Mrs Smith exclaimed,grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well-when you consider her mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?"asked Mrs Smith.
"Yes, i,m afraid so.Ifinally had to take her to the park to get the job done right.People were crowding round four or five deep to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?"said Mrs Smith ,her eyes wide open with amazement.
"Yes",the photographer replied."And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling -i could hardly concentrate ,and when darkness approached i had to rush my shots.Finally ,when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment ,i just had to pack it all in."
Mrs Smith leaned forward ."Do you mean they actually chewed on your ,um... equipment?"
"It,s true Ma,am,yes.Well,if you,ready,i,ll set up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes,Ma,am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on .It,s much too heavy to be held in the hand very long."
With that Mrs Smith fainted.
