I promise to not promise!

Jessie:  Can you buy me something?



Me: Only if you promise to follow directions and to be good.

Jessie: (in a very hesitant tone) Uhhhhm… Well… Uhhhh…. Well… Uh.. Ok! I promise to follow directions and to be good. BUT I can’t promise to keep that promise.

HA HA HA HA!!!!
