Quicksand

Last week while I was working, I put on the movie The Never-Ending Story for the boys. They were entranced! Apparently, the part of the movie involving quicksand really stuck with them. Later that day, while playing in the backyard, the following scene took place:

Both boys were under the apple tree where plenty of apples are still on the ground. They were pretending that the apples were quicksand and would scrunch low to the ground while sinking and calling for help from the other one. The other one would quickly come to the rescue and pull the sinking child out of the quicksand. After the two of them were going back and forth for quite a while doing this, Nate went out and was "sinking." Lex walked on the outside of the apples and said, "You are just going to sink now. You are on your own mister." Oh my! I guess brotherly love only goes so far, huh? LOL
