Why and when did Dad say each of the following?

(i) Fall?


(ii) Never mind


(iii) Funny joke


(iv) Rubbish

(i) When Dad was asked to be careful and not to fall, he said ‘fall?’ in an unbelievable questioning tone since he was over confident of his tree climbing skills.

(ii) When Dad slipped and landed in the flower bed, at that time he said ‘never mind’ because he had other plans to execute.


(iii) When Dad was warned for the second time by mother and asked to be careful not to fall again, in that moment Dad remarked ‘funny joke’ because he still had a third plan left to execute.


(iv) When Dad asked to stop trying to climb the tree or else he could get his neck broken, then Dad rebuffed the anxious mother with the remark ‘rubbish’ as he was annoyed by her lack of confidence in him.
