Now they know how a cat feels. If I get stuck on a tree, I lay head down grabbing a branch with my legs and waving my arms for help, until the blood runs down my head.
Calvin! I command you release your feline captive! Do so, and I shall let you live as my personal sculptor due to you snowman creations. Ignore me at your own peril!!! >:(
When my son was 5, he climbed about 30 feet up a pine tree. My wife sent me to retrieve him. The problem was he weighed about 50 lbs. I weighed about 200. I couldnât get all the way up because the branches would not support my weight. I managed to talk him down to my level and he rode my shoulders the rest of the way.
When we asked him why he climbed the tree, his response was âI wanted to see what the birds see.â
Hey, this gives yet another "fantasticâ excuse for not turning in your homework (if this were the school year, of course!):âHomework? Couldnât do it. Little red wagon accident. Hobbes and I got stuck up in a tree! But it IS the truth.âMs. Wormwood: âHm, stuck up in a tree, huh? My, but they do get original, donât they?!â
When I was a farm boy, I climbed every tree, within sight, no matter how high, it was, and I âNEVERâ once, fell out of one of those treeâs, just liked to climb those Treeâs.
Calvin, in modern-day times. Calvinâs Dad in his easy chair, reading a good bookâŠâBad news, âDadâ, on your poll ratings lately.ââIs that so?ââHey. Itâs an Election Year, 2016.ââSo?ââSo, if you want to stay in office, youâd better get your campaign in gear.ââHow?ââEasy, make yourself more likable. What we need is a DVD Recorder, a home computer outfit (complete with Internet access, of course!), and Smart Phones for each of us (like Susie Derkins just got, from her Mom and Dad!). Get Cable TV (or, something like it!), increase my TV privileges, I want a later bedtime (as in, midnight or so), gimme a bigger allowance (say, at least $100 a week), and youâre all set. Now, your ratings may be down in the subbasement at the moment; but you just follow my suggestions, and I guarantee you: theyâll shoot right through the roof, in no time flat!"âOh. Well. Thanks for sharing that.ââYouâre gonna be one lonely guy in the Assisted Care Facility!ââHuh. Maybe there Iâll be able to finish my book.ââWell! See if I ever offer you a little friendly counsel again!ââGo to bed, Calvin.â
Once had neighbor kids beg me to help get a cat out of a tree. I called the fire department (based on a lifetime of seeing it on TV & in cartoons). They said, we donât waste our time on that, and the cat will come down on its own.

And now you know the rest of the story.
