Oh, Gravity!

Beedle practiced riding his bike this evening. He happened to have fallen a few more times than he would have liked. After one particular fall, he cried out...

Beedle: I just don't know why I keep falling.
Dad: That's gravity, son.
Beedle: What is gravity?
Dad: Gravity is the force that brings things back down to earth.
Beedle: I wish God would get rid of gravity!
Dad: Beedle, I don't think God is going to do that.
Beedle: Well, I wish God would make gravity get out of our town!
Dad (trying to change his point of view): You know, Beedle, if there was no gravity, when you'd jump, you could fly!

Beedle smiled and got back on his bike. Oh, Gravity, give Beedle a break!
