        Your son wasn’t getting heavier because his VOLUME was increasing. He was getting heavier because his MASS was increasing. But Happy Birthday!

        Stop it with this old bullshit. You're not old. Neither of us is old. We're just at the very tiniest start of the merest edge of the beginning of no longer too young. That's my story and i'm sticking to it
