Exchange between me and my brothers:
To set the scene: it is afternoon, the sun is high in the sky and baking our skin to crisps. My dad had gotten 15 cubic yards of dirt delivered to the driveway to be moved to the backyard, so we were slowly but surely transporting it by shoveling it into wheelbarrows (we had two between the three of us). The dirt pile is about five feet tall, maybe a couple inches less. My younger brother climbs up on it to make himself feel tall because he’s still shorter than I am.
My brother: I can see everything from up here! Including that half-naked man over there!
...said half-naked man was a shirtless man going on a run 😂
