Hammering Home The Need To Check Beforehand

(I’m about three or four. My dad tinkers a lot with motorcycles and the like. I love “helping,” usually by putting little rocks in the exhaust pipe. I’ve been allowed to “help” by hammering on an old fuel-tank, and happily hammer away, with a small child size hammer, and with my dad’s supervision. I get bored and walk outside where my dad’s chopper is. Soon I return saying:)

Me: “Not hammer Daddy’s chopper, yes?”

(My dad flew up in panic, thinking I had hammered on his shiny chopper. I hadn’t, but apparently he wanted to confirm it!)
