I Know It’s a Lie, But It’s Funny

The Banana stole granola this morning.  I came downstairs from my shower, and there was granola all over the floor, the table, and the kitchen counter.  She was the culprit.  The consequence was no snack after nap, which hit hard.  We had just been snuggling on the couch, recovering from the trauma of missing afternoon snack, when Ya Ya, freshly home from school, came down from her room with a purple plastic purse (I know . . . just like the book Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse) the bottom of which was filled with granola crumbs.

Me:  Did you put granola in your purse?

The Banana:  (no answer)

Me:  You need to tell the truth.  How did this granola get in your purse?

The Banana:  (long, long pause) Well, It just flied in there all by itself.

Me:  Really?  Did you SEE the granola fly in your purse?

The Banana:  Yes, definitely.
