Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[AuAL]

Who wants to be carrying dirt when they could be carrying food?

 

[TBRS1]

Isn't that kind of thinking - that food is more important than the environment - a perfect metaphor for the human caused destruction of our home planet?

 

[NDR2]

Didn’t our parents always tell us not to waste food?

 

[TBRS1]

Are you talking about that thing where squirrel parents teach their kids to horde acorns again?

 

[NDR2]

Even blind ones?

 

[Neri]

Aren't humans and all the critters part of the environment anyway?

 

[TBRS1]

That sounds like my living room, but to which specific environment are you referring?

 

[NDR2]

You have critters in your living room?

 

[TBRS1]

Doesn't everybody have an assortment of wildlife lurking about in the dusty corners and under the couch?

 

[NDR2]

Are you ever going to clean your house?

 

[TBRS1]

Isn't it a bit rude to comment on the state of my house after all I've done for you for so many years?

 

[Cutesie]

Isn't he simply showing care and concern for you?

 

[TBRS1]

If they really wanted to help, wouldn't they grab a broom and dustpan and start sweeping?

 

[NDR2]

Don’t you have a vacuum cleaner?

 

[TBRS1]

Can't you bring your own?

 

[Cutesie]

If we're talking about certain tiny critters, can a cat be called a vacuum cleaner?

 

[NDR2]

How do you get fleas off it?

 

[TBRS1]

The cat is bigger and easier to handle, so would it work better if you get the cat off the flees instead?

 

[NDR2]

Does “off the flees” mean you keep the cat from fleeing?

 

[TBRS1]

Have you ever attempted to keep a cat from fleeing?
