ME: Whoa! Hey
Silver! Quick! Look at the tree!
SILVER: … what?
ME: The tree
over here! Look at it! Wow!! Isn’t it something?
SILVER: …. I guess. Can
we keep walking?
ME: No no. Not
while this tree is here. That you have to keep looking at.
SILVER: Why? It’s a
tree, pop.
ME: Yes, but you
have to keep looking at it! Focus! And don’t look anywhere else. For the next 30 seconds. Maybe more.
SILVER: Anywhere else? It’s
a tree. There’s nothing special about it. Trust me. I’m a dog. I know trees.
ME: Please
Silver. Just look at the tree.
SILVER: I don’t get it,
pop. You want me to stare at some tree. It’s like you don’t want me to look ahead on
the trail where I might see …. OOOOH MY GOD!!! OOOOH MY GOD!!! A
DEEEEERRR!!!!!!!!!! A DEEEER!!! A FREAKING DEER!!!!! LOOK POP!!! A DEER!!!!!
ME: (Struggling with all my might to hold him
back) Gee, I never noticed.
