8/3 Jack the stinker

Jack had me convinced today that he had thrown my camera over into the neighbor's yard. He helped me to get the ladder to look over and was so convincing, that when I didn't see it, I thought that maybe he meant the yard on the other side of the house. So we dragged the ladder to that side and looked over, no camera, but there was one of his Tonka trucks resting nicely in the fallen leaves. I finally found my camera in the couch cushions. Did Jack just learn to lie? And why would he lie about something that would get him into trouble? Just to get the ladder? HMMMM
