Kidnapped

I had been looking for some papers that I misplaced in the house for about a week, until yesterday I decided to offer a $1 reward to any of the kids who could find them. As it turned out, I found them on my own later that morning.

This morning, I went to pack up my computer to bring to work and it was not where I recalled leaving it. I asked Kerrie where it was and she didn't know. She added, however, that Daniel told her if I was looking for it then I should check with him.

Dad: Daniel, have you seen my computer?
Daniel: I don't know.
Dad: What do you mean, you don't know? You either know or you don't know.
Daniel: Well, where did you leave it last?

He played dumb for a few more minutes, but he couldn't keep his eyes away from a spot under the sofa. I would have liked to let him take his plan to its conclusion but we were late for the school bus, so he never got to the point of offering to help find it for a price.
