"Hey Dad, check this out."
"What?"
"Okay, now in this box, is the cat alive or dead?"
"There's no cat in there."
"How do you know that? Have you seen inside this box?"
"No, but I never got you a cat."
"Just because you never got me a cat doesn't mean there's no cat in the box. Now is the cat alive or dead?"
"I don't know."
"That's right, nobody knows whether the cat is alive or dead. So until anyone observes it, the cat is both alive and dead."
"For God's sake, just show me whether the cat's alive or dead!!!"
(opens box)
"Ha! There is no cat!"
"You little punk."
