It's always fun to see how people respond. If it's someone I'm not too fond of (and who annoys the crap out of me), it's hilarious. I gave some kind of response like this to someone recently, and they looked at me in horror, said, "Oh.. that's nice.." and walked away.
If it's my family or friends, they usually just laugh and realize that I don't feel like discussing it.

Thanks for the all the responses (too many to quote)...made me smile! I usually respond with: "I don't have kids because I like to sleep in." And, "We got married because neither of us wanted kids!"
Kids are great...just not for me
