Detective Evie

This is a conversation we had on the way to school today.

Evie is looking out the window and sees the neighbor's dog in their yard.

Evie: There's that dog that pooped in our yard.

Me: We don't know that was the dog.

Evie: I know it was.

Me: Did you see it do it?

Evie: No. (in an excited voice) Hey, I know how we can be sure. We'll go smell the poop in their yard and then smell the poop in our yard, and if it doesn't smell the same we'll know I am wrong.

Megan: (In a know-it-all voice) Evie, that's not going to work.

Evie: Yeah, all dog poop smells the same.

Megan: Yeah, it will be harder than you thought.
