Autumnal Avocations

Who: Open to all!
What: Miscellaneous activities
When: Friday, 10/21
Where: Farmer Carol's farm.
How: ...Walking, running, skipping, or log-rolling are all acceptable.
Why: Because I want to.

As Palom had promised, the farm indeed boasted more wholesome family fun activities than you could shake an apple at.  While the main purpose of the day trip, ostensibly, was to finish up harvesting the fruit, the opportunity to explore the farm and its rural surroundings was enticing as well.  By mid-afternoon, Farmer Carol was fully satisfied with the hard work of the volunteers and announced that they were free to do as they pleased.

So is it really that wrong of me to ask?

Er...well, no, not in and of itself...

[identity profile] kaboobya.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Then why are you making such a big deal out of it?

[identity profile] sacred-thunder.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's...typically not something that a person would just flat out ask somebody else. Your asking it caught me completely off-guard.

It isn't? Why wouldn't people want to know that though?

Uh...

[Give Ky a moment to think this one over.]

Well, it's not that they wouldn't want to know. It's that such a question puts the person being asked in an awkward situation.

Why is it awkward? If you mean to always tell me the truth, then you can just agree outright. Anyone who doesn't is only guilty of being dishonest.

It's not easy for people to promise to avoid doing something as simple to do as tell a lie. That's why it makes them feel awkward.

Why not? If someone wanted me to promise that, I would!

[identity profile] sacred-thunder.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
But would you be able to stick to your promise? That's what worries most people.

[identity profile] kaboobya.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I would. My word is my word!

[identity profile] sacred-thunder.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
...Then you have my respect. Very few people would be able to stick to it, so your confidence in doing so is very commendable.

Great, that means I've ranked up and can be considered a close comrade now, right?

[identity profile] sacred-thunder.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Uh...I'm afraid I don't understand what you just tried to say.
