That's the Old Saying

I may be dumb but I'm not stupid - except on occasion.  Even though I knew this was a ruse, I somehow let myself be talked into coming all the way into the basement to get Logan a Go-gurt from the freezer.  Unfortunately, this was not the first time I had genuinely fallen for one of Logan's ploys and, dare I say, it wouldn't be the last.

"Logan, why did you do that to me?  You're perfectly capable of doing this yourself," I said, with a note of exasperation.

"Sometimes you have to trick your friends and family into doing things for you," he said.  "That's the old saying, right?"

Yeah, well here's another old saying for you, I thought, showing my favorite finger to the back of his departing head.
