You’re home! I was just…uh…just looking for the…cat! Yeah, I was looking for the cat! (Wait, we don’t have a cat, think, think, think!) I was checking the fridge so I could make you a surprise dinner, that’s why I was on the counter! (Wait, I don’t have thumbs, I can’t turn on the stove or use pans. Think, think, think.) The lamp is broken because a giant came in and threw that ball! (Wait! The truth shall set you free!) I ate the roast! (Why are you getting out that leash?)
