Me: "Oh, Tom, I forgot to tell you that I borrowed some money out of your wallet the other day."
Tom: "Uh huh. I thought I was missing some money. I just assumed Darcy had taken it."
Darcy: "What? Why do I get blamed for everything? I told her not to take it out of your wallet."
Tom: "So you were in on it with her! How much did you take?"
Me: "$10"
Darcy: "No! It was $20"
Me: "It was $10 Darcy. I took two fives."
Tom: "Keep talking you two."
Madison: "It was $10 and she gave the money to me."
Tom: "So all three of you were in on it!"
Me: "Oh, boy."
Tom: "I figured it was between $10 and $20."
Me: "You don't even know what you have in your wallet?"
Tom: "I had something between $5 and $20. And all three of you are thieves."
Me: "Uh huh, well, I took two fives." Silence. "Then I put it back because it was wrong to take money without asking."
Darcy: "Which is what I told her in the first place."
Tom: "Then how did Madison get $20."
Madison: "Mom got it out of her swim book."
Tom: "I think all three of you are now lying."
Me: "About what?"
Tom: "The money you stole from my wallet."
Me: "What wallet?"
Darcy: "I didn't see anything and this conversation is making me dizzy."
Madison: "Can I have $20 Dad?"
hilarious! I feel like I was there. Way to strike while possible iron is hot, Maddie!
