1. Watching the RAAF Roulettes aerobatic aircraft team from our back yard:
Him: Are they coming back?
Me: I don’t think so. I can’t hear them. I think they’ve gone.
Him: Yes they are. They’re coming back. I can hear them!
Me: I think that’s a truck in the next street.
Him: No, I can hear them.
Me: I think they are a long way away. They are too far away for you to hear them.
Him: I can hear them. I’ve got very sensible ears.
2. On a pedestrian footbridge high above the river:
Him: That’s a long way down to the water.
Me: I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we find a stone and drop it in?
Him: No, don’t do that. Don’t throw it in.
Me: Why don’t you want to throw a stone into the river?
Him: It might be a beautiful stone.
