Becca's Boot

Yesterday morning as I was taking Becca to school, I noticed there was only one snowboot. Now, I thought I had seen two boots in the evening, but with life the way it is at this house, who knows? I live in a house of insanity. I asked her where her boot was. She thought it was at school, so logical Mom says to take the one boot in case the boot is at school. No boot at school, teacher has no clue, Mom takes the lone boot back home and puts it away. Sweet Becca comes home and Mom gives her her chore. Well, Mom suspects something is up with the boot. The chore was to move the dining room chairs to the living room and mop the dining room. Jonathan finds Becca's boot under the dresser in the den. Mom gets an idea. Asks Becca, "why did you put the boot under the dresser?" Every lie Mom gets, she tells Becca to return a chair to the dining room. Gotta give the girl credit. It only took three lies/chairs before she said, "I wanted to make you search for it!" "Sorry dear, I didn't search for it" And I had a little fun with your lying - actually brother did too. lol
