Evan: Daaa-aaad? I keep telling you that beer will make you fat. You'll get fat and then you won't be able to play tennis and then you'll be grumpy.
Thomas, aged 10, walking past: Evan, you talk rubbish. And anyway you shouldn't say fat, you should say obese.
Evan: Daaa-aad? Thomas says if you drink beer you'll be a beast.
Cue suppressed sniggering from the living room where my wife was listening.
