cimoreneIt's kinda funny how 6-year-olds don't really grasp causality.
Like, you were the only ones in the hall. There was no way for anyone to enter the hall without being heard. Two adults know you were there. We witnessed an object fly through the air from the hall door and land in the kitchen. The object is still there.
So there's literally no way that none of you threw the object. It is inanimate. You cannot convince the adults that you are innocent of affecting the physical position of this object because the laws of physics prevent this from being true.
Two adults are not going to believe you guys above the laws of physics, which have never let them down.
This is a bad lie.
The words you were looking for were "I didn't see who threw it." If you all said that, nobody would know which ones were lying, although we still wouldn't believe you. If you all claim that definitely none of you touched it, then you're all presumed guilty.
Though some more guilty than others by virtue of a behavior pattern of literally always, 100% of the time, being bad, usually for no discernable reason.
After Apprentice Child Nurse Coworker put some gentle individual pressure on them the adorable child who is my favorite male kindergartener squealed on the others. I knew my fondness was justified.
