Torn Between His Brother and a Lie

Last night when I checked on the big boys in bed, I caught Hunter out of bed. He quickly darted into bed when he heard me open the door and immediately explained that his snake and shark had fallen out of bed. I asked him if he was telling a lie so that he wouldn't get into trouble, or if his stuffed animals had really fallen out of bed. He assured me that he was telling the truth. I decided to check with Ashton. His answer was Priceless.
I asked, "Ashton, did Hunter's stuffed animals fall out of bed?"
Ashton answered, "I mean, do you see where his stuffed animals are?"
How great. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to tell on his brother either. I love that they have such a bond, but I also love that he didn't lie for Hunter.
I'm pretty sure Ashton was meaning, Mom are you really dumb enough to believe this story? Because of course those said stuffed animals were grasped tightly in Hunter's hand and ON the bed. What great friends they are. Needless to say Hunter will not be given extra talk time tonight.
