Autumnal Avocations

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

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.

[kaboobya.livejournal.com]

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

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

But would you be able to stick to your promise? That's what worries most people.

[kaboobya.livejournal.com]

Of course I would. My word is my word!

[sacred-thunder.livejournal.com]

...Then you have my respect. Very few people would be able to stick to it, so your confidence in doing so is very commendable.

[kaboobya.livejournal.com]

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

...Uh...I'm afraid I don't understand what you just tried to say.
