I arrived home to be greeted by E5N1. Exile #2 was finishing off dinner in the kitchen. Exile #3 has a sleep-over tonight...
E5N1: [Exile #4]'s not here!
me: Oh?
E5N1: No - she's at a play-date.
me: Oh. Where?
E5N1: She's at M--'s house.
me: OK.
I'd seen an email about trying to arrange such a play-date, so it seemed reasonable. I wandered into the kitchen.
me: Is she staying out for dinner?
Exile #2 is silent and has a curious look on her face.
me: What?
Suddenly a cackle and Exile #4 burst in.
She didn't look like this (although it would have been appropriate I suppose - this is from a couple of days ago).
It turned out that she had been hiding. However, the whole play-date story was entirely of E5N1's creation. Oh boy - are we in trouble?!
