Besides, there’s a trade war going on. Wouldn’t want to get into the middle of that.

If you’re off a little bit, you might suck up one of those islands they took so much trouble to make.

Or you could end up in the ocean far from land.

If he digs it another foot or so deeper, I bet his sister would gladly fill the hole in for him, and he wouldn’t even need to move.

Say son, you know that in-ground pool you always wanted…?"

I remember trying to do this, but only dug about two feet down when I hit a boulder. That was it. Adam, now is the time for a science lesson about the earth and it’s layers and how thick each one is. Turn this into a teaching moment.

And he was this > < close!

I hear there is a big hole in Butte Montana that was on it’s way to China but if got filled up with water and now it is poisoned. I’m thinking that whole, hole digging idea is best left to ants and gophers.

Got a long way to go Clayton, the deepest hole ever drilled (12.2 km) was only 0.1% of the diameter on the earth

Such a wise papa!

more likely he’ll hit underground utilities

Now if you only had a small tree to plant in that hole.

That is a very large field behind their house, not another house in sight.

Got to give Clayton credit.. it is pretty hard to dig a hole that size.

Let him dig. That part of the lawn is already ruined, and pretty soon he won’t be able to chuck the dirt out of the hole anyway.

What is the distance to underground emptiness?

One problem—kids have been injured and even killed by holes/tunnels that they’ve dug collapsing and burying them. Dad is right to stop the digging while the kid could still get out if it collapsed.

Hey Clayton! Ever watch Motel Hell?
