Tricycles and Cigarettes

While Austin was working outside recently, Gage was riding any one of his several bicycle-like pieces of equipment. On one trip through the carport, Austin noticed Gage just sitting on his Radio Flyer Tricycle (3rd generation). On his next trip through, Gage was in the same spot so Austin asked him what he was doing:

Ah, just smoking, Dad... you know, like Poppy.

Even though Poppy smokes, you really shouldn't smoke Gage.
Oh, I know, Dad, but I'm just sittin' here smoking, Dad.

Well, I don't really think you're old enough to make that decision, Gage.
Well, Dad, that's why it's just pretend smoking.
