A boy's grandfather decides to move into a retirement home, and he invites the family to his house to take a few pieces of furniture he wants each of them to have. One item is a beautiful, but very heavy, antique dining room set that the grandfather gives to the boy's mother.
The boy helps his mother wrestle the set into their truck, then get each piece off of the truck and into their house. It takes the whole day, but finally the table, chairs and china cabinet are sitting in a new dining room.
The boy's mother admires the furniture while the boy rests after working so hard all day. "Just think," she says, "this set is 100 years old. And one of these days, it will belong to you."
"Oh, no," the little fellow replies with a stricken look on his face. "You mean I'm going to have to move this thing again?"
