Elizabeth (around 5 years old) and her dad were at a science museum. There was an exhibit demonstrating progressive resistance. It was an old fashioned football blocking sled. The other dads (skinny handsome muscular guys) were hitting the sled, really making an effort, knocking the spring about halfway to the stop.
Elizabeth asked her dad, "Daddy, can you do that?"
Her dad replied, "Sure, Elizabeth, I can try it."
Elizabeth's dad was worried that he was going to get embarrassed. The skinny handsome muscular dads were hitting it pretty hard, and the spring was only compressed halfway. He knew that if he hit that sled and bounced off, it was going to look like he was a wimp.
Elizabeth's dad hit the sled as hard as he could. The spring compressed all the way to the stop with a loud crash, and every head in the museum snapped around to look.
Elizabeth got a stern look on her face and said, "Daddy, you should be careful. You could have broken that."
