If I were to say, "Get in the car," what would you think that meant? Is it extremely hard to interpret? Is it so easily misunderstood? Could it have several different meanings?
For example, would you think it meant:
"Go play football in the driveway?" *
"Start a snowball fight?"
"Run over to the neighbor's house to play?"
"Talk to the kids you see outside?"
"Shovel the walks?"
"Get pop out of the fridge in the garage & hide while you drink it?"
"Lay down in the back cargo area of the Suburban & don't answer when called?"
"Keep reading your book inside?"
"Stay in your bedroom doing who knows what?"
"Get your scooter out then leave it RIGHT behind the car to get run over?"
"It's time to go get 'lost' in the bathroom...for a while?"
"Call someone on the phone?"
"Shoot some hoops?"
"Torture your brother & sister on the front lawn?"
* Family's interpretations have NOT been changed!
OR...Would you think it meant, "GET IN THE CAR?" (What a novel idea!!)
