Eli came in the room last night and said Addie (Jon's toy poodle) must have gotten out. He thinks Ariana (who was not home) did it. I knew Eli had done something. I went to the door. No Addie. I looked at Eli(who had an astonished look on his face). He said, "Oh no, a ghost did it"! I looked to find Addie stuffed in a plastic toy drawer. To the average person this may seem humorous. To a parent, you have to look at the sinister forethought that went into his scheme.
First: Eli,(criminal mastermind), walks into a room to make an announcement regarding Addie (his victim).
Second: He blames a fictitious crime (the dog was not let out) on someone who's not there (Ariana).
Third: When discovery is imminent...blames the real crime (dog stuffing) on a non-existent being (ghost)!
Someone tell me what 5 year old sits around plotting crimes and ways to cover them up?
