Crime? At approximately 5:20 p.m., three packs of Mrs. Freshley's Swiss Rolls went missing this evening from Hannah's bedroom. Swiss Rolls purchased for Treat Day at Hannah's special needs school
Suspects? Mom, Dad, Lindsay, Keaton, Emma, Chloe, Ranger, Grandaddy, Hannah's memory loss, Jeff
Alibies? Mom and Lindsay don't like Swiss Rolls; Grandaddy, Hannah, Jeff, Emma all were away from said crime scene; Chloe and Ranger lack opposable thumbs; Dad buys his own Swiss Rolls
Alleged perpetrator? Keaton the ravenous fourteen year-old
Evidence? Overly defensive behavior, discarded Swiss Roll wrapper in bathroom garbage, and our suspect was mysteriously not as hungry as usual before bedtime
Comments from the courtroom:
"Who would want to steal Swiss Rolls from a class of special needs children?" --Hannah
"I didn't do it! Unless I was asleep, or brainwashed..." --Keaton
"Swiss Rolls? Yecch!" --Mom
"Swiss Rolls? Yum! Oh, never mind, they're knock-off brand..." --Lindsay
"I'm not convinced they're missing." --Dad
"I would never. That's like stealing from... a special needs child or something. I'll go throw up right now!" --Keaton
Verdict? Circumstantial evidence at best. Good enough for us.

You kill me.
I feel better knowing that Sleuthy is out there solving the tough cases. Hilarious, as usual!
This has to be one of the funniest posts ever. Now could Sleuthy please come to my house and tell me what happened to the m&m's I had stashed?
is sleuthy for hire?
this is my fave post read in quite awhile.
you are so hilarious! I love the qtip swabbing the wrapper - you can't fight the evidence! You're such a great mom to take the time to teach in a fun way - I would've just duct taped everyone's mouths until someone turned in a written confession.
Hilarious!! I'm so glad you caught the culprit!
they have 100 calorie swiss rolls?!?
