Son: Is that a weight-lifter?

Mum: They are weights on the ends and you do lift it, but it’s called a dumbbell.

Son: Why don’t you use it?

Mum: Dumbbells are for when people want to have big muscley arms. I don’t want my arms to be very muscley. Men tend to use them more than women.

Son: I’m too little to use it though aren’t I?

Mum: Yes.

Son: And I still won’t be old enough when I’m 10 will I?

Mum: No.

Son: Maybe when I’m 77?

Mum: It’s a possibility.
