So my dad goes up to Zach and I just happen to be standing there. Dad has a piece of paper and a pencil and he starts to draw a line on it and was about to ask Zach a question. First thing out of my mouth was "A, I pick the letter A!!!" Dad just looks at me like I'm crazy, I respond with "what, we are playing hangman right?"
Dad: No this is a tree.
Zach: well it doesn't look much like a tree, more like a stick
Me: okay, I choose G then
Zach: Mom, it's a tree, papa already told you that so you need to pick a T
Me: well trees are green, unless it's fall like now and they are losing their leaves then they are
brown... or the tree stump is brown. Crap now I don't know what color to choose my letters with.
Dad: Zach, if you want to cut down a tree how would you do it?
Me: call someone to come out and take care of it
Zach: what mom said.
Dad: *shakes his head* okay really if you had to cut it down yourself how would you do it?
Me: with a chain saw... those are fun!
Dad: You are not allowed near the tools. Zach you have to use the hand saw.
Zach: Well I would put a nook in the tree then I would go back and forth with the saw until it cut the
tree.
Dad: Okay what happens when you get about 3/4th of the way through the trunk then what?
Me: I push it over and yell TIMBER!!!!
Zach: I go around to the other side and cut some more so it doesn't fall that way?
Dad: No, you need to...
Me: You need to bring people outside to watch it so that the tree actually makes a sound when it falls!
Zach: I'd have them watch so they can see how strong I am when I push it over
Dad: Why do I even bother with you guys?
