“It’s so easy. I can easily lift that”, boasted my son while
watching weightlifting on TV.
While I loved his optimism, I wanted him to appreciate the
magnitude of what the athletes were actually doing. “Do you know how heavy 150
kilograms is?”, I asked him. “Your little brother weights a little over 16
kilograms. Nine of him will just about make up 150 kilograms.”
“But I can easily lift my brother.”
“One of him, yes. But can you lift nine of him at the same
time?”
He agreed that he couldn’t. But his imagination could
capture it for posterity.

@ Chuck - I am proud. Very. And every figure is a gem.
@ SueAnn - kids are something else, aren't they? Left to themselves, they can move the world.
