Caroline the Detective

Caroline informed me that she wants to be a detective when she grows up. And she has a very special case in mind. Be aware that this is ENTIRELY her invention, developed purely by my asking her questions after she gave me her initial intention.

Caroline wants to become a detective because she has determined that there is an individual in possession of a remote control that controls peoples’ bodies and forces them to do evil things. And if she can find this individual, arrest him, throw him in jail and take away the remote, no one will ever do anything evil again.

Now this individual is hiding in one of two places: Either at her grade school (insert “It’s elementary” joke here) or in South America in a hotel. Should the school thing not pan out, she’s going to enlist thousands of children and sweep down upon all the hotels in South America simultaneously to ferret out the perp.

Fortunately enough, we have a description: He’s a dog in a suit. I’m thinking she might want to bring in McGruff as a consultant.

So rest easy, world: A dog in a suit is using a remote control to cause evil in the world, but as soon as Caroline grows up, he’s nailed.

I’m thinking of trying to turn this into a kid’s book.
