Drawing Idioms


When I was a bachelor living in Chicago, my mom called one evening: "Your brother has a question for you."
She put 8-year-old Josh on the phone, who was curious if I still owned that 200-foot climbing rope. "Why? What's your plan?"
He was trying to solve a unique problem: How to connect a long rope from the 75-ft pine tree in our yard to the roof of the house in order to slide down it as a zip line.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I was, indeed, in Texas during South by Southwest. However, I was nowhere near Austin, and played with lots of fun nieces and nephews (all under the age of six) doing fun things like wrasslin', fishin', watching bronco ridin' and mutton bustin' at the Houston Rodeo.
