opposites

conversations between Jack and Jill in the car:

Jill -- Hey Jack, what's the opposite of go?
Jack (spelling it) -- "G" . . . "O". . .
Jill -- No, what's the opposite of go?
Jack --"O" . . . "G"


later, once they have established what Jill was going for:

Jill -- What's the opposite of up?
Jack -- Down!
Jill -- What's the opposite of fast?
Jack -- Slow!
Jill -- What's the opposite of quiet?
Jack (shouting) -- LOUD!
Jill -- What's the opposite of far?
Jack -- Not far!
Jill -- That's right, near!
. . .
Jill -- I don't know, Jack, I'm running out of things to think of opposites for. Can you think of anything?
Jack -- What's the opposite of tree?
Jill -- Um, I don't think there is an opposite of tree.
Jack -- . . . I'm thinking . . . tree . . . . no tree!
