Blame Game

Do not fear! Despite the fact that there are no siblings within twelve years of Peanut Maximus, he has solved the problem of not having anyone to blame for making possibly poor decisions.
Today Peanut Maximus got into a cupboard he was not supposed to be in. He took many things out of that cupboard and when those things were discovered strewn about on the floor, a parental figure inquired as to what happened.
He stated, “Oh, Cousin Nathaniel did that.”
“Are you sure?”
“Cousin Nathaniel took all those things out of the cupboard.”
Never mind that Cousin Nathaniel is currently residing out of state 300 miles away.
