Not far enough

Unfortunately my son's apple hasn't fallen very far from the tree

We left the house for his basketball game. We went by a park where I run sometimes. I saw a crowd, a fire truck, and a rather large-ish fire. "What's burning?" I wondered aloud. "The bonfire" said Mr. C.

We drove for about twenty minutes (on two separate highways) and my son said "Dad? We're not having a home game today, are we?"

Poor kid.
