a day in the park with chris smith "arader lips" is what we used to call him,
"christopher arader smith, i want you to come to bed right now and stop chopping those tree trunks!" chris's mother would call.
if you can't get rid of that darn tree, service of the lord, i will wring your neck chris arader smith! Mark my words!
and with that, she slammed out of the room and ran right into Mr. Arader, who was build like a tree and had served 10 years in the service before chris was born.
"You crazy woman!" the Big Chris arader shouted, "Why don't you do yourself a service and watch where you're going. Little Chris Arader sat all alone on the bench
as his father grabbed mom with his big tree trunk arms and showed her how the service deals with problems.
"In another town, in another time,: chris arader smith used to chirp, "I'm gonna be a tree farmer or I'll be a tree climber or I'll be a service mechanic. But, whatever i will be, I won't join the service like my father, Big Chris Arader Smith."
And so it the cast was set, little chris arader wouldn't be like his father. Each morning, as the wood chucks were chirping from the hemlock tree branches,
chris would pedal down the path towards the service station where, unbenonst to little chris arader smith, he would spend the bulk of his life watching the trees service the birds and bees from his little home on the range.
Chris named the big pine tree outside of the service station after his father, he named it Arader tree service. This was a handy combination of chris's favorite topics, tree climbing and walking to the service station and his last name 'Arader.'
