Mum: What are you doing?
Son: [Squatting on the bathroom scales] I’m trying to be heavier.
Mum: That won’t work – you need to be carrying a big pile of heavy books, or some suitcases.
Son: Or a cherry!
Mum: I don’t think a cherry will be heavy enough to make a difference.
Son: I know – a big thorn bush!
Mum: That would be a bit prickly to hold.
Son: You could hold it by the stalk at the end?
Mum: I suppose, but it would still be a bit awkward.
Son: Maybe I could hold a big dinosaur then?
Mum: If you can find one.
Son: Oh yes, because they all got killed…
