Beware of falling coconuts

The first day we were here, Pointer told us about a thumping noise he'd hear every once in a while. He said he'd be sitting there, everything really quiet, and all of the sudden, THUMP! He realized it was coconuts falling from the trees. We then had a lengthy discussion about how deadly this could be - you could be sitting under a shady coconut tree, minding your own business, when out of nowhere, THUMP! A coconut beans you on the head and you're dead.

Well, after that conversation, Andy became very aware (and possibly afraid of) falling coconuts. He went so far as to move his lounge chair out from underneath one. And everywhere we'd go, he kept an eye out for falling coconuts.

While I teased him about it a little bit, I am glad he was not taking the possibility of death so lightly.
