Though skeptical of his teenage son\u2019s newfound determination to build muscles, one father followed his teenager to the store\u2019s weight-lifting department, where they admired a set of weights.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Dad,\u201d pleaded the teen, \u201cI promise I\u2019ll use \u2019em every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, Michael. It\u2019s really a commitment on your part,\u201d the father said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not cheap,\u201d the father said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll use \u2019em, Dad, I promise. You\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally won over, the father paid for the equipment and headed for the door. After a few steps, he heard his son behind him say, \u201cWhat! You mean I have to carry them to the car?\u201d<\/p>\n
