Guessing Game

After sending Fritter to the corner this morning, I called him out and asked him if he knew why I put him there.

"Ummmm...Because I hitted my sister?"

"No son, you didn't hit your sister."

"Because I...talked mean to you?"

"No son, you didn't talk mean to me."

"Because I played with the train track by mistake?" (This isn't even an offense in our house.)

I wonder how often I ask him this question and he tells me correctly, not because he really knows what he did, but because he just happened to answer one of the most common infractions.
