Mnemonic

A parent is standing on top of a tree to see what their kid is doing.

(Imagine that their kid is a teenager, and he has his girlfriend over in his room, and the parent promised not to interrupt. So the parent had no other choice than to get on top of the tree outside of his son's bedroom and try to see what's going on in there from the outside.)
