another animal

Once again, a conversation with Pete goes unresolved. Pete has himself laid out between the two arms of a chair:

Me: Pete, you look like a hammock.
Pete: Is that an animal?
Me: No, it's like a swing for your whole body. You can lay in it.
Pete: But is it an animal?
Me: sigh.

(see April 29th's post about "heights" to fully grasp the sigh)
