Wise Sayings at Breakfast

I walk into the kitchen this morning to have some breakfast. I see Amy eating the last of my cereal.

Me: Hey, pal. What do you think you're doing? That's my cereal.

Amy: Yeah?

Me: Yeah, so now I have to find something else to eat.

Amy: Well, sometimes you have to share the willing.

Me: What?"

Amy: Sometimes you have to share the willing.

Me: Share the what?

Amy: Share the willing.

Me: The willing?

Amy: Yeah.

Me: Ok...so I did hear you correctly. I still don't get it. Share the willing?

Amy: Yeah, sometimes you have to share the willing.

Me: No, I know what you're saying; I just don't understand it. What are you talking about.

Amy: It works like this: I'm willing to share, so you have to be willing to share.

Me: ...

Amy: See? It makes sense.

Me: No. Not at all. First of all, I obviously wasn't willing to share since I came up here and was upset that you are eating the last of my cereal. But the first clause of your saying states that you are willing to share, and I see nothing that you are offering.

Amy: I'm willing to share your cereal with you. That's why I ate some. You have to be willing to share your cereal with me, so I can eat some.

Me: You're an idiot.
