Amy has a newish beanie/bobble hat which we bought during our trip to Thredbo earlier this year. She is very fond of the hat.
Last Tuesday Amy discovered that the bobble had become detached from the hat. It was interesting to see how investigations into the occurrence developed.
Tuesday
“Audrey, what happened to Mummy’s bobble hat?”
“The bobble fell-off”
Continuing our Cluedo-esque investigations we quickly realised that the bobble was CUT from the hat – it’s a very clean cut and so it seems unlikely that the bobble fell off by itself.
Wednesday
“Audrey, did you cut Mummy’s bobble off her hat using the scissors in your pencil case?”
[Audrey] “Eli did it!”
“Eli, did you cut Mummy’s bobble off her hat using Audrey’s scissors?”
[Eli] “Diddy (Audrey) did it!”
By Thursday the two had found the perfect alibi through conspiracy.
“So which one of you two cut Mummy’s bobble off her hat?”
[Both] “Daddy Did it!”
By Friday Audrey was elaborating on the crime to give authenticity…
“Mummy, Daddy took the scissors out of my pencil case and cut the bobble off your hat!”
Alas it is now too late to investigate further, take finger prints and so on. The crime scene has been ‘compromised’ is what they say on TV detective shows I think.
