Standing on a gate so as to get a good viewpoint, watching cattle being herded along a path.
Cousin 1, female (9) (...me), excited to be standing next to older Cousin 2, whom she admires: Why are those steers trying to get on top of those cows?
Cousin 2, female (17): Because they’re trying to stand up of course.
Cousin 1 (feeling foolish at being caught out on something so obvious): Of course, sorry...
(Time it took to realise I had been hoodwinked = 20 years, when I heard somebody making a similar comment and it all came back...)
