No dad, ask the questions. Ask the questions. I want to talk.

My class went on a hike the other day. We climbed to the top of a mountain and I shouted, Hello, I heard a voice call back. Hello, it sounded just like my voice only far away.

Because we're always on a schedule. And the child stopped him in the middle and said, No dad asked the questions. Ask the questions. I want to talk.
