"Stormhowl, did you take your cousin's doll?"
It's your grandmother speaking. Her hands are covered with flour…she's been baking again. She was always baking.
Your cousin loved that doll. She had it with her always. But not now. It's missing. What was it that you said to her?
"No, I didn't take it." But I had taken it. My cousin was a brat who never left me alone…as long as she was looking for that doll, she was not bothering me.
"No, I didn't take it." Because I hadn't taken it. Now maybe they will both stop bothering me.
"No, I didn't take it, but I'll help you look for it!" I hadn't taken it, but I had some ideas as to where my cousin might have misplaced it.
"Yes, I took it. I'll go get it for you."
"Yes, I took it, and I threw it in the river."
