True story. This thing happened last week.

Person A: I want to eat something.

Person B: Do you want some of these (B opens a box of boring cookies and shows the contents to A)

A: No!

B: How about these (opens another box of bland cookies)

A: No!

B: (grabs a third box, realizes it’s empty, but opens it carefully not to show anyone what’s inside) Ooh, I’m not showing this to you. (Puts the box away.)

A: I wanna see! (Tries to grab the box)

B: No, it’s mine! (Pushes A further away)

After some futile struggle B let A have the box. A opens it up and realizes it’s empty. We all had a good laugh.
