Little 6-yr-old blond boy, walking away from tiger exhibit: Boy, I sure am hungry.
Dad:  We brought snacks.
Boy:  Well, what kind of snacks do you got in that backpack?
Dad:  Lots of snacks.
Boy:  What kind of snacks?
Dad:  What kind of snacks would you like?
Boy:  I want ice cream.  You got any ice cream in that backpack?
Dad:  No.
Boy:  Well, why not?  How come you didn’t bring any ice cream in your backpack?
Dad, under his breath:  Because I knew you’d want some.
