Five-year-old: "Dad, where is the hammer?"
Dad: "What do you want the hammer for?"
Five-year-old: "The ball has gone a long way under the deck."
Dad (processes this; realising what the five-year-old has in mind): "You think you're going to smash a hole in the deck with the hammer so you can get the ball out."
Five-year-old (recognising that this idea perhaps isn't playing too well, adopts knowing smile): "Umm, yeah?"
Dad: "No."
Kids these days.
