Country Bumpkins?

Kids at play. Cell Boy, who lives with his parents in some gated property in the city is visiting Grandma Sykes in a rural area.

He meets his cousin Nature Boy for the first time. Both are 10. They’ve been together for two days but no brotherly love is flowing.

Nature Boy: Let’s go home. The rain is coming.

Cell Boy: How do you know? You don’t have a phone.

Nature Boy: I have eyes. Can’t you see? Ants and rabbits are hurrying home.

Cell Boy: You can be so creepy.  You know what? I’ll Google the rain.

Nature Boy: See ya’.

Cell Boy: You can’t leave me here. I don’t know the way home.

Nature Boy: Google it.

Cell Boy: Come, let’s take a selfie before we go.

Nature Boy: Here in the forest?

Cell Boy: Yea. It will look great in my YouTube channel.

Nature Boy: Look, there’s a tiger on that branch.

Cell Boy drops the phone and runs for his life. Nature Boy picks it up and walks leisurely out of the forest.
