Just thinking about that time we went on an extended family vacation and my sister asked, “What should I put on the grocery list for your kids?” So I said, “They eat a ton of string cheese.” So my sister got a jumbo bag of string cheese, but every time I offered them to my kids, they would decline, and I would eat their string cheese. Which made my sister suggest that maybe I wanted the string cheese for myself, and “It would have been okay to simply ask for string cheese.” family
