Me: Hey John, Grandpa invited you to come overnight and see the MSU basketball game with him...but he only has one extra ticket, so you would be there all by yourself, without James or Maggie. Do you want to go?
John: Umm...No. [Long Pause; a sly look creeps into his eyes] Actually, Yes!
Me: Really? Are you sure?
John: Yup! 'Cause I could eat lots of junk food and watch lots of awesome TV!
Me: Ah. Well what if I told Grandpa not to let you watch any TV? Would you still want to go?
John: [In a dismissive, almost scornful tone] Yeah! 'Cause he'd still let me watch awesome TV anyway. 'Cause that is what Grandpas do.
