Acting Like A Tree - Jonathan Aaron

Uhhhm. So there's this guy at a party, and he's all, "Oops, I forgot to wear a costume," so then he pretends to be a tree, and this little girl looks at him like, "That is not how you act like a tree," so then he closes his eyes and tries harder, and then he drifts away into his imagination, and he hears a wolf. That's what I got from this. It's a strictly literal interpretation. I'm really not sure what else it could mean.

It could be pointing toward the fact that what one person observes to be a tree may not be exactly the same as what somebody else observes. Sometimes I think about colors, and I wonder if everybody sees red the same way that I see red. Maybe when I see red, other people see purple, and we just don't ever realize it. Sometimes I think that's why people have different opinions. They literally see things differently. But who knows.
