Last night as we were eating dinner, Greenleigh brought it to our attention that the control key on our laptop was missing. When we asked her who did it, she said “Puppy”. The accused:
She just looks guilty, doesn’t she? She claims she was framed. Surely, in a house with two lawyers there will need to be a trial of some sort. I think it would be a conflict for one of us to represent her, so we will probably need to hire outside counsel. Madison isn’t talking, so we may need a translator too. Our cat, Sonoma, has offered to translate, but given their love/hate relationship, she shouldn’t be trusted. Considering the testimony against her from the 2 year old accuser in our house, her defense is going to be an uphill battle. Greenleigh is pretty convincing when she points the finger in Madison’s direction and states “Puppy”, upon being asked why the control key is missing.
But Puppy didn’t do it. Greenleigh did. Several weeks ago. Up until yesterday, Greenleigh looked at us blankly when we addressed the issue of the missing key on the keyboard, but yesterday she took it to another level. She pointed out the missing key herself and determined that someone must be held accountable. Just not her. She is not to blame, Puppy is. Poor Puppy. She’s never really been a fan of Greenleigh and now she stands accused of a crime she didn’t commit.
This is just one example of the crazy accusations that Greenleigh is throwing around our house lately. The other night she was running around the dinner table, despite my protest, when she fell and it her head on a chair. It was a pretty bad fall and she still claims to have a “boo-boo” on her forehead, even though there is no bump or bruise. When I asked her where she got the boo-boo, she told me that Mrs. Faith, her daycare teacher, gave her the boo-boo on her forehead. Um, nice try, but I was there. On another occasion, I was looking at her arm and spotted a bug bite. I asked if a bug bit her, but she said no. Erajh bit her. Clearly a bug bite Greenleigh, but nice try. We have been having talks about the truth and what a lie is, but due to the fact that we don’t exactly speak the same language 100% of the time, it isn’t exactly sinking in. Definitely a work in progress.
We are all lucky that no court would let a 2 year old testify, because if they did, we would all be in a lot of trouble.
Too cute!
Kids say the funniest things! Cute post. I left you a review on Alexa.

Puppy is so cute. That is such a cute story. I’m sure it won’t be long before Buggy starts blaming things on our dogs. Right now she has four to choose from – LOL!
After reading this post, Honey is very concerned that Madison has been wrongly accused. She has volunteered me to give Madison a full psychological evaluation that will prove that she is a stable dog who does not secretly eat plastic laptop keys in her spare time.
