Happy Thanksgiving!

. . . 

I'm gonna tell ya'll a story.

(This happened irl a few days ago lol)

So me and my siblings were out in the woods, like most days.

I (Moss) was sitting in a tree with my sister Fern, and Forest was sitting on the ground next to the tree, whittling a stick with her pocket knife. 

We had an interesting conversation.

Moss: Whatcha making, Forest? 

Forest: I dunno. I'm basically just murdering a stick.

Fern:  Don't kill the stick!

Forest: It's not killing it if it's already dead! 

Moss: Wise words. Very poetic and meaningful- Hahaha....

Forest: Don't laugh at my logic!

Moss: Right. I'll just laugh at you. *Uncontrollable laughter*

Fern: *Joins in laughing*

Forest: Also, I didn't mean that literally. I am carving a stick down to make it smooth and smaller.

Moss: And in the process killing it!

Forest: No!

Moss: Yes!

Forest: Fern, weigh in on this.

Fern: On what?

Moss: Is whittling a stick killing it?

Fern: I don't like it when things die...

Forest: *Wheeze*

Moss: Is that a yes?

Fern: I'm not getting involved in this one. You two duel it out. 

Forest: Over this? That's ridiculous! 

Fern: You're ridiculous!

Forest: No, you're ridiculous!

Moss: You're both ridiculous! 

Fern: Fair enough. 

Moss: Come on then. *Jumps out of the tree*

Forest: What?

Moss: I'm in the mood for a sword fight. 

Forest: And I'm in the mood to sit and whittle quietly!

Fern: Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Forest: Ugh, fine. Go get your sword. 

Moss: And you get yours. 

Fern: I'll come with you, Moss. *Jumps down from tree*

Moss: Okay, come on.

After that we proceeded to have a sword battle, in which Forest won. (Sadly...)

So, I guess the question it:

Is whittling a stick killing it?

I think so. 

Maybe. 

Sorta.

Possibly.

I don't know.

Happy Thanksgiving!
