Suffer

Another linguistic beauty from BallFiend during a conversation this afternoon... I had just said something along the lines of 'if you don't eat your dinner and then are hungry in bed, you will just have to suffer'.
BallFiend: What does suffer mean?

Me: Suffering is when you can't have something you want.

BallFiend: No, it's when you can't have something you need.
What an astute kid - his response blew my mind!
