More Detective Work

Without our knowledge, the two older boys went out one evening to "bomb" cars with snow balls. They returned home and settled in for the evening when the doorbell rang. The man at the door complained to Jonathan that the boys had hit his windshield with snowballs, frightening his children and possibly damaging his car.

Our boys quickly agreed which one of them had actually thrown the snowballs, and we called that child to the door. After a tense conversation, the man left, promising to let us know if any damage to his car was visible the next morning in daylight. (Luckily, he didn't telephone us, so his automobile must have been ok.)

Jonathan explained to the family that the man had tracked down the boys by following their footsteps in the snow. He had been trained to do so, which we found out when he showed us his Forest Park police badge!

As Sarah would say . . .
BUSTED!
