Hi everyone. Yes, it’s me Penny. I suppose you’re wondering what’s
going on. It seems as though there has been a robbery and my family
has asked me to see if I can figure out who the robber is. I am going to
need some help and was hoping you all could be part of my detective
team. Yes. Great, thanks.
It started with my dad’s birthday. He’s 40 today and the whole family
has been invited over to celebrate. All of our family lives close by
except for dad’s parents. They live several hours away, so they came in
last night. Mom ordered fried chicken, potato salad, and a huge
antipasto salad and lots of desserts all from dad’s favorite restaurant
and pizza for us kids. Dad’s mom asked if we could put 2 pieces of the
delicious chicken away for later for her to snack on. So, my mom put
the 2 pieces on a separate plate in the fridge for grandma to snack on
later. We started the party around 1 p.m. By 4 p.m. we were all finished
eating. We sat around watching T.V. and playing board games. My
grandma Betty, that’s dad’s mom, went to take a nap. Around 6 p.m.
coming from the kitchen we hear…WE’VE BEEN ROBBED, WE’VE BEEN
ROBBED. Everyone ran into the kitchen to see what was going on. It
was grandma Betty all upset because someone took her chicken.
Everyone denied taking it. So, we began looking everywhere …under
the sink, in the closets, under the bed. No chicken was found. I looked
to see if there was a possible clue left on the plate. I didn’t see
anything. Oh wait, there are little bits of something pink and shiny. We
have our first clue everyone. Pink and shiny, hmmmm. It looks a lot like
my make-believe nail polish. Oh No! Earlier that day my mom took both
my grandmothers to the beauty salon to have their hair and nails done.
Whoever has on pink nail polish must be the robber. That person must
have gone to eat the chicken and hit their freshly painted nail on the
plate and bits of the polish came off. Oh my gosh, grandma Betty has
on pink nail polish. But why would she say someone took her chicken if
it appears that she was that someone. Here’s what happened. If you
remember grandma went to take a nap around 4 p.m. Her stomach
started growling and at 5 p.m. she went into the kitchen and ate the 2
pieces of chicken mom put aside for her. None of us heard her in the
kitchen. She was still groggy and tired, so she went back to sleep. When
she got up again at 6 p.m. to go have her snack, she was still groggy and
forgot that she had already eaten the 2 pieces of chicken and thought
they had been stolen. Mystery solved. It took a while for grandma to
remember that she ate the chicken earlier. She was so upset about
what had happened. We told her not to worry, sometimes things
happen. Mom brought out the birthday cake and we all sang to dad and
laughed about the whole episode. Thank you everyone. I could not
have solved this mystery without your help.
