Okay, so this last Christmas (actually, about the beginning of December) my wife and daughters purchased a box of delicious turtles (you know, the chocolate covered pecan/caramel clusters) for a friend. That is a fact agreed upon by ALL.
My wife and kids claim that I hid the box of turtles out of site, so I would not be tempted to open and start eating them.
I claim I did no such thing, knowing they were a gift. Come-on, I'm not that out of control.
When the actual holiday arrived, the three of them called me at work to ask where the turtles were. I had no idea. They insisted I had hidden the turtles while they watched. I laughed and insisted that they just go to the cabinet where I hit them, and retrieve the turtles. They were unable to do this, so I argued that their claims of watching me "hide" the turtles didn't seem to hold much water.
The three of them replaced the gift for the person that they were intended. But they kept harping back to the missing box of turtles.
Since then, they have accused me of CONSUMING the turtles.
I have, the entire time, maintained my innocence.
Fast forward to just now, and I wanted to find a bite to eat. I opened a cabinet with some goods in it, looked all the way to the top, and low and behold, I noticed the missing box of turtles.
So I called my wife and kids (they are off picking up some items for one of the kids) and said "These turtles are mine, right? For the number of times I've been accused of eating these turtles, I may as well commit the crime."
The wife/kids do not agree. They seem to think they have a claim to the turtles.
So I ask you, who gets the turtles?
I've made this a poll so you may each vote and I can show my wife/kids how out of their minds they actually are.
