Who did it?

In the Family Circus comics from my childhood, it was always an invisible gremlin named "Not Me" who did stuff around the house.

"Who scribbled on the wall?" "Not me!"

At my brother's house, it's Mister Nobody. Actually, in Jonathan's eyes, Mister Nobody is good for a lot of things, including a silly name to call people when he feels ornery.

At our house, it's someone else.

Tim didn't get up on time yesterday because his alarm, when it went off, was turned down so low it didn't make any sound. I recalled that the boys had been playing in our room the day before.

"Adam did it!" Mark told me.

"Adam, did you play with Daddy's clock?" I asked.

"JONAH did it!"

That's right. That same guy who didn't want to go to Ninevah and headed for Tarshish, the same guy who got swallowed by a big big fish and didn't want to tell the people to obey God.

Yep. Jonah played with Daddy's clock. Jonah did it.

Sigh.

How can I put Jonah in time out?

Maybe he's talking about Jonah from Summer Heights High.
He's just the sort of troublemaker to mess with a clock.

He might have a point. I've seen Jonah sneaking around our place once or twice. Usually right before something crashes to the ground or breaks.

(Jon and I both find this story hilarious!)
