I came to school today and saw my morning letter. It was different than usual because it said, "Mysterious Monday." Mysteries are my favorite so I was excited!
I followed the clue on the board and went to examine the quilt on the sofa. That was the last place Teacher had her phone. I couldn't see the phone and everything in the room looked normal except there was a plate with cake crumbs on the table. I asked Teacher about it and she said she ate cake while she was quilting and got her hands messy. So I asked her where she washed her hands. She said, "The powder room." (Which is my little bathroom.) I decided to make a list to keep track of the clues.
Next I checked my bathroom and it had a note from Sophie on the mirror. Hmmmmmmm....another clue. It said, "I love you mommy." Then Teacher remembered that she took cake to Sophie because she saw the sweet note. In Sophie's room there was the same kind of plate with the same kind of crumbs. Finally, Teacher remembered that Sophie wanted her to take the cake plate back to the kitchen, but instead, Teacher put it down because she saw dirty laundry.
I hurried down the stairs and saw Daci. I wanted to play with her but I had to get on to solving the mystery.
I quickly ran to the laundry room and saw the phone right on top of the washing machine. Mission accomplished! So that's how the case of the Forgotten Phone was solved.By Allison Story
