Andrew: Sammy, you ask her.
Me: What is it Sammy?
Sammy: We were just wondering if we could dig a hole in your back yard.
Me: Dig a hole? You mean in the sandbox?
Sammy: No. In the yard.
Me: Uh, why?
Sammy: Because I built a underground fort at my house and I want Andrew to have his own entrance from his backyard.
Me: So this hole would connect to the hole at your house? (A mile away)
Sammy: Yeah!
Me, putting it gently: Well, that sounds like a lot of work. I'm not sure you'd be able to do that.
Sammy: But we'd get all the kids in the club to help.
Me: Let's not dig any holes, okay?
Andrew: I told you she wouldn't let us.
what a kill joy. did you know that in college, jake wanted a secret passageway to his next door neighbor friends (casey gubler and rebecca tonioli) and so he just cut a hole in the drywall so you could climb through the closet to behind their side table. what is it about underground tunnels and secret passageways. he could just use a door and sammy could always use the road, but whatev.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of you to just give them a rule, rather that explaining that there plan would never work in a million years. Way to let the fantasies live on.
ReplyDeleteLove it!

ReplyDeleteHa! It would have been interesting to let them try - to see how far they got.
