“Hey, who made this mess and didn’t clean up?”
“Not me.” Olivia immediately answered.
“Not me.” Evan followed.
“Okay, so one of you is not telling the truth. I didn’t do this and Daddy is at work. You know you are going to be punished when you lie and don’t think I can’t figure it out who did this (this last sentence was for Evan as I knew he would believe it even though I had no clue who did it).” And right after I said this, I caught the uneasy look on Evan’s face. Ah-ha!
“Not me!” Olivia cleared herself again.
“Ah…I didn’t put them there, they just followed me.” Evan said.
Creative excuse as it was, he did eventually admit that he did it.
