"Rock!" Life yelled as he pulled harder on his restraint.
"No! You can't go when the tractor is moving, you know this." I scold.
Life sticks his bottom lip out at me, "but but it was a rock."
"Yes, rocks will go nicely on the new road he's building."
"Do I get to go see it."
"Yes, you are the gate operator."
Life's eyes lit up, "That's really important, right?"
"Extremely, couldn't get the job done without you.  A'ight its time to go."
Life and I rode down to the red gate by the pond.  Life jumped out and got the gate for us, making his way down to the dirt road.
"Wow! Its really coming along!"
"Yeah... Did you think I was lying to you?"
