Scene: The family is outside their home enjoying the late afternoon sun. Mother and father are seated in lawn chairs. Son has been riding his bike up and down the cul de sac, but stops to take a break.
Tyler: "I'm hot."
Phil: "I know something that will cool you off."
[Mother can tell by the tone in Father's voice that something bad is about to happen and thinks "this oughta be good."]
Tyler: What?
Phil: "Run down the street as fast as you can and the breeze will cool you off."
Tyler: [hands on hips] "That doesn't make sense."
Phil: "Sure it does, the faster you run, the cooler you'll get."
[Mother looks at son with pleading eyes and thinks, "c'mon kiddo, don't fall for it." Child shrugs shoulders and takes off running. Father laughs hysterically. Mother scowls at him.]
Phil: "What?" [still laughing]
Me: "That wasn't very nice."
Phil: "I was teaching him a lesson."
Me: "What? That his dad is jerk?"
Phil: "No, a lesson in physics."
Tyler: [yelling, voice fades as he gets farther down the street] "I can't feeel anyyythinggggg."
Father is still laughing hysterically at his own joke.
Phil: "My stomach hurts."

That is actually a very funny story and sounds exactly like what all dads do to their sons.
My husband does the same stuff with our daughter. It drives me crazy, but I guess someone has to toughen her up a bit, lol.
You're quite a storyteller, Mel! Good stuff.
