Alice: In preschool today, somebody pushed baby carrots into the pencil sharpener despite knowing better, so the whole class had to sit with their heads on their desks until I finally stepped forward and admitted I did it. If we ate dinner in front of the TV like a normal family these awkward lulls would not be so noticeable.

Alice could’ve used the “Britta” excuse: I only admitted fault so everyone wouldn’t continue being punished.
