False Witness


It was the end of the period, and the kiddos were on their way out. One boy, who was in a group on one side of the room, called out to a boy on the other side.

Boy 1: "Am I in football?"

Boy 2: "Yeah."

Boy 1: "I'm in football?"

Boy 2: "Yes. I mean no. No, you're not. I thought you wanted me to lie for you..."

Now we all know who to call if we suddenly need an alibi witness...

    Sounds like someone would crack under pressure.

      I thought it humorous.

      You have humor and compassion, a great combination. As to your kindly remark on my blog, thanks for the kind word. I've no luck on collecting a sample so far. But I have time if she'll tolerate a cup under her backside perhaps (without disrupting the stream). ~grin~ I was honestly happy to see Tilly urinating earlier tonight. Fortunately she seems to *feel* just fine. But that's the tricky thing about cats versus dogs. Felines tend to hide pain, which makes sense when you think of a loner animal who is both predator and prey in the wild. Would you want to show weakness?

      Be well!

    I see a potential he has down the road for making some money in providing alibis :)

      I'm not sure what prompted this. I'm assuming someone thought he was in football and he was trying to disabuse them of the notion.

    This made me laugh way too hard. I might need to steal and bastardize that line somewhere.

      Feel free to use it as you see fit. (Although, I'd appreciate a shout out in the acknowledgements ;) )

    Must check out the witness' reliability or at least his ability to keep his lips sealed.

    Maybe not if he caves that easily.
