The reason I wouldn't give her one is that I was taking her to daycare with a set of cupcakes for everybody - so she would have one an hour later.
Later in the day we came home (after she had had a cupcake at daycare) and she asked me for a cupcake again.
I said "You just had one at daycare"
She said "Umm, no I didn't."
"Yes you did, you just had one."
"No, I really didn't"
"So you mean that when you took all those cupcakes over there and all the other kids had one, you didn't?"
"Right. I didn't have one."
"You're lying, I know you had one"
"No I DIDN'T. I'm not LYING"
Then I said "Ok, you can have a cupcake if you say you didn't have one. But I'm also going to call Mrs. Bobbie and if she says you had one there, you can never have a pillow pet*, ever."
She thought about it and said "Ok. The truth is I had one at Mrs. Bobbies. I'm being honest."
* Pillow pets are a rather corny toy. The apparently run a lot of commercials. Luz wants one really really badly and talks about them to her mom a lot.
