Summer sleevelessness dilemma

At a sink, in the Wal-Mart bathroom:

Small boy, maybe 4-ish, with shoulder-length, traffic-cone-orange dreadlocks: "Why are your arms all wobbly?"

Disembodied voice from inside stall: "JADEN! Get over here!"

Me: "Because I have a lot of fat on my body. Plus a lot of extra skin from when I had even more fat."

Disembodied VFIS: "I'm warning you, Jaden..."

[Long pause, staring]

Jaden: "Do you have extra wobbly skin like that all over the place?"

DVFIS: "JA-DEN MICH-AEL!!!"

Me: "Yeah, I do."

[Longer pause, with unblinking staring]

Jaden: "You should really use all that extra skin to try to get taller."

DVFIS: "Lawd ham mercy, I ain't never comin' outta here."
