Friend #2: turns 16, acts 3. And a poorly behaved 3, at that.
"Watcha getting me for my birthday?"
"Not telling."
"Will you get me the <thing-you've-been-refusing-despite-my-nagging-all-year>?"
"No."
Upon receiving gift, which required effort to give and bears some similarity to said item,
"Will I get the <thing-you've-been-refusing-despite-my-nagging-all-year>?"
"No."
"It would truly make my birthday."
