"Please Take My Picture"

I was photographing trees when I felt this little boy tug on my shirt. He asked if I would take his picture. I looked around for his parent. No one was around. I felt a little funny about taking some pics of some one eles child with out permission but he kept asking in that pleading voice "Pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees" So I did which was a big mistake. He persisted in following me around like a lost puppy for the next half hour "pleeeeeeeeeeees, take another of me" He said. I wonder where his parents were.
