archery pretend

The boy's are having the most remarkable conversation right now in the other room.  They are playing pretend with their new archery sets.  In this very elaborate pretend scenario they are college student Indians.  They are hunting for deer.  Part of the way through the story they decided to upgrade from teepees to yurts.  The game of pretend ended in a fight over whether they ought to have a million guest yurts or a gazillion.  Serious stuff.

Wally:  "Fritz; on this cold, miserable winter day you need to go out hunting for our guests."
Fritz:  "I shot ten deer for our guests.  Deer are really good to eat.  We will cook them.  Our friends Vivie and Jack are coming.  Next to our teepee we should have a guest teepee for our cousins to stay in."
