This might not count as malicious. Is there a sub for polite compliance?

When I was a kid, my mom's rule was, "no deserts if you don't eat your vegetables."

Once, when she served peas, I conspicuously picked up two and said, "I'm eating my vegetables" before popping them in my mouth.

I pointed out that she hadn't said I had to eat all of them, but since she used the plural, I ate two, thus satisfying her requirement.

Of course, this trick only worked once before the rule was changed.
