Scene: Last night, while watching TV. Yes, I know.....If I want answers I should really take him to an empty room, sit him in a metal chair, and shine the lone lightbulb in his eyes.
Note: Many of my lines were repeated, while waiting for a response.
Me: So, did you give your teacher your pizza money today?
Boy Terror: (silence)
Me: Hey!!! Did you give your teacher your pizza money today?
BT: Hmmmm? What money?
Me: The money that I put in the envelope, and put in your backpack.
BT: Oh that. I remember that. I put it in my backpack.
Me: And then, when you got to school, did you give it to your teacher?
BT: Yep.
Me: Did she say anything?
BT: Nope. She wasn't there.
Me: She wasn't there? Then how did you give her the money??
BT: I gave it to the substitute.
Me: Oh. And did the substitute put it on the teacher's desk?
BT: She didn't know what to do with it.
Me: Seriously?? So what did she do with it?
BT: She put it back on my desk.
Me: YOUR desk? She put the money back on your desk?
BT: Yep.
Me: IS IT STILL THERE??
BT: Nope.
Me: Where is it?!!
BT: She put it on my desk.
Me: Got that. What happened after that?
BT: She didn't know what to do with it.
Me: I heard. Is it still on your desk?
BT: I don't think so.
Me: Was it on your desk at the end of the day??
BT: Yep.
Me: Was it on your desk when you left to come home?
BT: Nope.
Me: Do you know where it is right now????
BT: In my backpack.
Me: The envelope is still in your backpack?!
BT: I tried giving it to the teacher.
Me: So, right now, if I go upstairs, I will find the money IN YOUR BACKPACK???
BT: I think so.
This is why I'm grey. And also why he might not get pizza.

So this is what I have to look forward to in just a couple of years, eh?
