Needs To Rethink That Request

(My dad and brothers have just returned from cutting down our Christmas tree, and one of my brothers is working on setting up the tree stand, as my dad has instructed him to.)

Dad: “[Brother], what are you doing? Why aren’t you [doing some other task]?”

Brother: “I’m setting up the tree stand, like you told me to, Dad.”

Dad: “[Brother], do what I think, not what I say!”
