Mud Splash on the Post

A yard post wore fresh mud freckles like tiny stars.

Pathway A: hose kiss. Pathway B: animal splash. Pathway C: invent Cap conspiracy (frozen — we do not).

Spike chose look: splash height matched a trough splash more than a hose drip.

Suzy found wet trough edge and a playful paw print near the legal dig spot — not Cap plots.

Evidence path: splash from trough play. Soft redirect. Clear boundary: dig spot is the legal stage.

They praised curiosity inside rules and wiped the post without a trial.

Adventure Cap respected clever. Lead respected timber.

Little Thunder supervised mud court without joining the defence team.

Kids: muddy wall — check who was near water before a courtroom.

Notice first. Name later.

Explore collects clues without inventing enemies.

Splash clues beat loud blame.
