It's all yours
The Buddha One said to him: "what do you think: Do friends and colleagues, relatives and kinsman come to you as guests?"
"Yes Master Gotama, sometimes friends and colleages, realatives and kinsman come to me as guests."
"And what do you think: Do you serve them with staple and non-staple food and delicacies?"
"Yes sometimes I serve them with staple and non- staple foods and delicacies."
"And if they don't accept them, to whom do those foods belong?"
"If they don't accept them, those foods are all mine."
"In the same way, Brahman, that with which you have insulted me, who is not insulting; that with which you have taunted me, who is taunting; that with which you have berated me, who is not berating: that I don't accept from you. It's all yours, Brahman. It's all yours.
"Whoever returns insult to one who is insulting, returns taunts to one who is taunting, returns a berating to one who is berating, is said to be eating together, sharing company, with that person. But I am neither eating together nor sharing your company, Brahman. It's all yours. It's all yours"

what if
Me: You are my favorite son. Don't tell anyone.
Avery: Don't worry, I won't tell your other son. What if you did have a son you didn't know about?
Me: It is kind of hard for a woman to have a child she does not know about.
Avery: Oh yeah.
Avery: Don't worry, I won't tell your other son. What if you did have a son you didn't know about?
