When I was a kid of 13, and I still lived in Reno, I used to go to this place called "Scoopers" which was a family owned fast food place. I went there so often that they asked my opinion on food items on occasion.
They had a deal where whoever had the high score on their Phoenix video game each week would win a free lunch. So one week I won the free lunch. Hooray!
But wait. The day I went in to claim my free lunch, the kid in line ahead of me told the lady he was there to claim his free lunch. She asked, "Is your name Robert?" The kid looked shocked but then said, "Yes". He lied. I said nothing. Why didn't I say anything? I couldn't prove who I was. I never thought that maybe he couldn't prove who he was either. He ate my free lunch. Now the Scoopers people think my name is James.
