A Diversion of Sorts

"Why don't you go outside and play?" you ask the little boy. "In the meantime, I can make stew, or perhaps a nice goulash."

"All right," says the little boy. "How shall I know when to come back inside?"

"Just stay in the back yard," you instruct, "and I'll call you when the food is ready."

"Hurrah!" shouts the little boy. He sets off on all fours and makes a beeline for the flower bed. Birds scatter, and he chases after one of them. Rather than watch, you go back inside and sit down on the sofa. What are you going to do?
