For some reason we’ll never understand, humans sometimes want us to hurry up. Something about things to do, blah, blah, blah. It’s not that we want to be slow when the humans are in a hurry, but we just keep running into minor distractions.

So, yes, maybe Hu-Dad was suggesting to Landon that he needed to finish his yard time and come inside. And maybe the Boomster had more important things to do. Like…
