Brother: What does “suffer” mean?
Me: Well, if someone was going to “make you suffer” then they would make you hurt or maybe regret a decision. Like if they held your arm behind your back until you couldn’t feel your fingers then you would be suffering.”
Brother: Ok

Overheard moments later:
Sister: So, what does it mean?
Brother: It’s when you can’t feel your fingers.
Ha! Ha! I love that!
