Alice has been acting suspicious. Bob knows she's up to something, watches her, and...[[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|comes to the wrong conclusion.]] He confronts Alice with what he thinks he knows, and Alice, to keep him from discovering her real secret, lets Bob think he got it right. May lead to a [[Maintain the Lie]] to keep Bob from catching on.
 
Sometimes Bob confronts Alice with a vague phrase like "I know your secret", and [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations|each of them thinks the other is talking about something different]] until Bob (it's always Bob) comes right out and says what he thinks the secret is.
 
[[Sub Trope]] of [[Entertainingly Wrong]].

If this manifests out-of-universe, such as a work's author replying to [[Wild Mass Guessing|fan speculation]] with a "sure, let's go with that" and making it [[Canon]], see [[Ascended Fanon]] and [[Sure Why Not]].

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Iroh]] deciding to teach [[The Determinator|Zuko]] a powerful yet dangerous technique. As Zuko tries to understand why they're drinking tea instead of practising, he comes up with the explanation that it's because tea is a relaxing drink and will allow him to do better when he's taught.
{{quote| '''Iroh:''' Oh yeah, good point! ...I mean, yes.}}
* Used in the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode with the ghost disease. The ghost disguised as a doctor uses the phrase at least twice.

'''Homer:''' (guiltily) Uh...yeah, that's right! }}
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Swarm of the Century," the town of Ponyville is plagued by a swarm of parasprites, which destroy the town on the day that Princess Celestia is supposed to visit. However, Pinkie Pie manages to get rid of the 'sprites by putting together a one-man band and leading the bugs out of town, [[The Pied Piper of Hamelin|pied piper-style]], just as the Princess arrives on the outskirts of town. Celestia assumes the procession is a parade in her honor, and Twilight Sparkle quickly assures her that it is, indeed, a parade.
** Alternatively, Celestia was well aware of what was going on and pretended to misunderstand to allow Twilight to save face.
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein": Max Weinstein says he cannot eat Lois's [[Cordon Bleugh Chef|marshmallow and fish casserole]]. Lois assumes because it's not kosher, and after looking at it Weinstein lets her think that.
