IT'S NOT ME
The cat in the toilet
The dog in the fridge
The window broke out with a bat.
I wasn’t there, I don’t know, I swear it to you
It’s not me, I would never do that.
Who put the fish on my pillow
The grapes in my shoes
My toothbrush all covered with cat?
I think it was him, it might have been her
You know me, I would never do that.
My best art on the walls
With a permanent pen
In colors so bright and fat.
I’m not even home, I was out of the house
What? Me? I would never do that.
He touched me, she punched me
He’s looking at me
She’s thinking about me, what a rat.
The dog or hamster, but nope, no sir
No way, I would never do that.
“I didn’t do it, not me,”
I said to my dad
As he looked at my face with a frown.
It was her, it was him or somebody else
Finally dad sighed and went to lie down.
I'm sure no other parent has heard THIS phrase when something unexpected happens.
​
I'm amazed at the creativity and speed of a child's mind when asked, "Who did this?"
​
And sometimes the answers are even funny.
