My son broke the elevator.

Sure, your son won first prize at the science fair, my kid broke the elevator.  I'm not sure the exact physics of a scrawny ten-year-old able to overcome the power of a hydraulic elevator able to carry a half ton; but hey, in this world of political correctness I have a feeling if you breathed hard on the door it would go into a protective coma and shut down.  Because according to my son, he did not apply enough force to stop the door from opening.  Obviously he did.  Or maybe his breath really is that bad...
