"I am going to show you how to be a starfish. You lie on the ground like this. Put your arms out. Then you are a starfish. Except starfish have more arms. Now you do it."
"I'll make a deal. If you make me take a nap, you can't come to my birthday party."
I didn't try to explain that this was actually a threat, not a deal. Lucky for me, post-nap I was asked if I would wear a pink dress to her party. She was astonished that I do not, in fact, own a pink dress. I told her I would wear my best birthday party dress, with polka dots. This satisfied her and I have been officially re-invited to the party.

I hope one of you promptly corrected the other, that in fact, a Starfish doesn't exist. The animal to which you were attempting to refer is known as a "seastar".
