You tell  him trees are not allowed inside the house <g>.
Your story reminds me of when my son and his friend were 
playing "Top Gun" pilots. They were re-enacting the scene where  
Tom Cruise gets chewed out by his commanding officer, 
complete with profane language. I told them they weren't allowed 
to talk that way in the house, whereupon the friend said, "But 
that's the way real fighter pilots talk!" I was stuck for a second, 
then I said, "Not in front of their mothers."
