We had a very interesting day here today.
We had the three oldest grand children here until mid afternoon.
We like to encourage them to not only play together .............but to play games that involve using their imaginations.
So today we were detectives.
The crime was the theft of one packet of Allen's Snake lollies.
The suspects were............everyone...........including the pets.
We all got fingerprinted...................(texta and a piece of paper).............well not the animals.
The house was dusted for prints...............(literally.....with a paint brush and feather duster)
They questioned the guinea pigs............and ruled them out.........as they do not eat lollies.
They questioned the cats............well one of them.............Maggie hates children and was not to be seen anywhere................and as Lucy is totally deaf she was not much help.
So it was decided that the cats were no longer suspects.
The two rats were then questioned............(after getting permission from their owner as they are under 18............months)
We were unable to rule out the rats............they said they did hear heavy footsteps down the hall in the early hours of Sunday morning..........but were unable to tell if it was the slightly drunken eldest son..............or a midnight raid on the pantry..........where the lollies were kept.
Poppy was then questioned..................but found not guilty.........as he is diabetic he would not have eaten them.
Then we had a sudden surprise confession................the middle grandson....(who was also a detective....:O)................confessed...........that he slept walked from his house.............walked to Nanny and Poppy's house...........climbed through two cat flaps.............ate the lollies..............returned through two cat flaps and returned home.
But the detectives.........(including himself)...............ruled this out.:^O
We were quickly running out of suspects.
But there was one person who had not yet been questioned........................yep........the favourite Uncle.
He was intensely interrogated by three junior detectives..........but he did not crack.
He swears that he was outside in the gazebo on the the night in question.....riding his exercise bike......he had no need for sugary lollies to give him energy.
But....................when we gave him the search warrant................we found the lolly rapper in the bin in his room.........................:^O
So the thief was found...............who would have thought...................(and he was wearing a superhero onesies at the time of committing the crime)....................not that the super hero onesie has anything to do with the crime......I just wanted you to know the silly boy was wearing one.
So what did everyone else do with their day?..................:^O
