Oscar bursts into the bathroom where Jason is going about his ablutions.
‘Dadda! Dadda! How much does this knee of mine weigh?’
‘Ummm. I don’t know Oscar. Why don’t you stick it on the scales and see?’
‘O.k. dadda. That’s a good idea.’
He solemnly balances one knee on the bathroom scales.
They stare at the numbers together.
Jason says:
‘Well. How much does it weigh then?’
Oscar ponders for a moment and then says firmly:
‘It weighs two. Let’s see how much the other one weighs.’
He swaps knees, and they repeat the process.
Oscar says gravely:
‘It only weighs one.’
Jason asks:
‘How much do both knees weigh together.’
Oscar stands up, dusts himself off and leaves the bathroom with the definitive answer ringing in Jason’s ears:
‘They weigh….different.’
