Everyone loves a mystery. We're all amateur sleuths at heart, right? That's why God invented Google.
I have found an easy way to satisfy my inner Nancy Drew. If you'd like to try it, just get hold of an assortment* of children and pets, and in no time you'll be setting up a personal crime scene investigation lab in the comfort of your own home -- complete with disgusting bodily fluids!
With a little help from the usual suspects, you'll soon find yourself solving mysteries like the following taken from actual case files:
-
What's that smell?
-
Who is throwing up hairballs all over the house?
-
What is the dog eating?
-
Why does the cat have hairspray on her fur?
-
Where are your socks?
-
Where are your underpants?
-
Why are there four pairs of dirty socks in your backpack?
-
Who took the last Oreo and put the box back on the shelf?
-
Why am I the only person in this family who knows how to tell time?
-
Why did you wait until 9:30 p.m. to tell me you need your uniform washed for tomorrow?
-
Are your legs broken?
-
Did you hear what I just said?
-
Did you just say what I think you just said?
-
Who forgot to flush?
If, like me, you are closer in age to Jessica Fletcher than to Nancy Drew, you get to solve the following bonus mysteries ripped from today's headlines:
-
What did I come in here for?
-
Where are my keys/glasses/phone?
-
Why did I open the refrigerator door?
-
What was I saying?
Seriously, what was I saying? Oh, yeah -- get yourself a big enough brood and soon you'll be solving mysteries like these and bringing your junior miscreants to justice before they have a chance to say, "I didn't do it!"
*You have to have more than one suspect or there's really no mystery, is there?
