The Truth About Getting Married


So, our family went to my friend Jackie's wedding tonight. What follows is the dialogue between Luke and Derek as they were walking to the car:

"Dad, whose birthday was it?"
"It wasn't a birthday; it was a wedding."
(pause)
"Then why did they get presents?"
"Because you get presents when you get married."
"Why?"
"It's just the way it is."
(pause)
"Why did they get married?"
"Because they love each other."
"Oh."
(pause)
"Do you have to get married when you love each other?"
"No, but it's the only way you get presents."
