When I was younger, my immediate family went on a trip together with our cousins. It had been one of my cousin’s birthdays a couple of days beforehand, and we had had some leftover birthday cake before going out for the day. The one I am telling this story about was seven at the time.
During the trip, we passed an ice cream shop:
Cousin: “I want ice cream!”
Aunt: “No, you can’t have ice cream. You already had cake.”
Cousin: “You know, this is how revolutions start.”
