The family was hunting for a used minivan and both a young Elizabeth and an even younger Stephen had been carefully instructed by their dad not to show any pleasure or delight with the car, as that would only cause them to raise the price. As they were taking a car for a test drive, Elizabeth hit on the brilliant idea of taking it to the opposite end. She immediately began complaining about the car and enlisted Stephen's help.

"Daddy, this car is dirty! There are candy wrappers in the cup holders!"
 Poor embarrassed salesman-"Oh of course we will clean the car before it's sold."

"Daddy, the windows of this car are dirty!"
Salesman-"Oh, of course! I will see that the windows are washed today."

"Daddy, this car is so high up! It bothers me."
Salesman-"Everyone feels that way at first, but I'm sure that you'll get used to it."

They bought the car for a very good price.
