"Naw, just a mirage," I mumble, "probably just a big pile of sand."

"Oh," he replies, his gaze dropping to the table with a genuine (or pretty darned convincing) look of disappointment. After a short pause he looks back up and asks, with a little hope in his voice, "do you think the sand tastes like cookies?"
