Neighbor Logan (9) was waiting patiently for grandson David to finish eating, because David promised to retrieve the glider from the tree. As he waited, he played with my free weights. I caught one episode where he pretended a five-pound weight was terribly heavy.

Of course, Logan can and did throw the eight-pound weight around. Later David gathered six weights in one hand and lifted 24 pounds. He declined to be videoed, but I was impressed.
