Mr. Nobody
By Reddit user MrCarcosa

We're all familiar with Mr. Nobody; we're introduced to him as children. A drink spills on the carpet, a vase smashes to the floor. Our parents ask us who did it and we say, we don't know, we weren't there, it wasn't us.

'I guess it must have been Mr. Nobody'

Most kids don't think about
Mr. Nobody, they're too confused on the impending spanking or the confiscated PlayStation. But the smart ones don't sulk. They get even. Those same children who stay up late on Christmas Eve to catch Santa or go hunting for the Easter Bunny are the same who take being grounded as an opportunity to demonstrate the many crimes of Mr. Nobody.

My son was one such child. He spent weeks searching for Mr. Nobody: hiding for hours, setting traps, leaving cameras in every room. He was always so excited about it, always telling me how close he was to finding proof. And one day he just stopped. Stopped asking questions, wouldn't argue back, and spending all his time playing outside. At first I thought he was just growing up, putting fanciful things behind him. Now I'm not so sure.

Last night a plate fell off the kitchen counter. Junior took the blame, swept up the pieces and begged me to punish him. I was in the backyard at the time, so I didn't see who did it. But I know it wasn't my son; he was in the backyard with me...
