First, we hid the wrappers in Jessica's closet under her baby crib. Once the guilt and the fear of being discovered grew too heavy, we decided to move the evidence downstairs into...the trash can in Jason's room! We even sifted it down to the bottom and put other trash on top to make it look like he knew about the wrappers all along. <BR/><BR/>This clears up two problems:<BR/><BR/>1. Jason never HAD a baby doll crib in his closet<BR/><BR/>AND<BR/><BR/>2. We tried to hide the guilt but once it got too scary we panicked and framed Jase. <BR/><BR/>I even remember going to Pop and saying something like: "why does Jason have ALL those starbursts wrappers in his trash can? Did you tell him he could eat them"<BR/><BR/>Bingo. We thought Jase was toast. Something about Jess and I though: in a pinch, we laugh. Once Jase left that room a free bird, and Pop and Mom called us in, we both started smiling and laughing. Totally wrong reaction for the moment and it's what finally did us in.Jonathan Latshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323864429445846411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-61908038490772775952008-09-01T17:40:00.000-07:002008-09-01T17:40:00.000-07:00I know--I can hardly believe that we cooked up thi...I know--I can hardly believe that we cooked up this plot!

No Starbursts for me. I didn't immediately think of you guys, I thought it was some kind of twisted miracle that placed all those wrappers in the cradle. And yes, there were TONS of wrappers. It was Pop who put two and two together. You loved Starbursts, and you were the one who told on me. And I guess they could tell I was genuinely innocent. So Pop's the Matlock here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-87150086109341113472008-09-01T04:15:00.000-07:002008-09-01T04:15:00.000-07:00Ah!

Up until this time, I had thought my "twins" (Jonathan & Jess) unable to do any wrong, unlike my "sons of thunder" (Josh & Jase), but alas! Even these sweet, seemingly innocent children had eaten of the tree! It just proved that all people had gone their own way.

You or Jonathan (or both) were apparently too excited about your masterminding that you had to show it off, and one of you TOLD ON ME, and tattled that you found the wrappers in my closet! How quickly you forget?! You were the ones who ratted yourselves out.<BR/><BR/>And it makes the plan all the more insidious. Not only were you hoping to get away with stealing starbursts, but you were actively trying to make me take the fall for it!<BR/><BR/>I think Mom stored her old doll collection in my closet.<BR/><BR/>PS: It's siphoned, not cipher!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
