When you're free from a task you were happy to do because you were a good kid, but you still got a certificate for being the best even though you barely showed up.
I said I'd clean my room, but then I got grounded. Still got a certificate for being the best.
I volunteered to walk the dog, but then I got hit by a car. Still got a certificate for being awesome.
I signed up for the science fair, but then I got sick. Still got a certificate for being the best kid ever.
