<<Daily Preview of Reality>> - A smoking gun

Faith : Toby, why is Jacob crying and saying that Dad is mean?
Toby : Probably because I punished him.
Faith : What for?
Toby : For lieing to me. Eric said that Jacob drank his cool aid. Jacob said he didn’t. But he did, so I punished him for not coming clean when I gave him the chance.
Faith : What makes you think that Jacob actually drank Eric’s cool aid?
Toby : Because his lips were stained red. If that’s not a smoking gun then I don’t know what is.
Faith : Toby. I gave Jacob his own cool aid a few minute ago. That’s why his lips are red. And I just threw away a cool aid that was sitting on the counter for about an hour. That was probably Eric’s
Toby : (laughs) How ironic! For the first time Jacob is actually innocent, yet he gets punished anyway!

아니 땐 굴뚝
Faith : Toby, Jacob이 왜 울면서 아빠가 나쁘다고 그러는 거야?
Toby : 내가 혼내서 그러는 걸 거야.
Faith : 혼을 왜 냈는데?
Toby : 나한테 거짓말을 해서. Eric이 그러는데 자기 음료수를 Jacob이 마셨대. 그런데 Jacob은 안 마셨다는거야. 그런데 마셨거든. 그래서 기회를 줬는데 이실직고하지 않아서 내가 벌을 줬지.
Faith : 무엇 때문에 Jacob이 진짜로 Eric의 음료수를 마셨다고 생각하는 거야?
Toby : 입술이 빨갛게 되었으니까. 그게 증거가 아니면 뭐겠어.
Faith : Toby, 내가 Jacob한테 몇 분전에 음료수 마시라고 줬어. 그래서 입술이 빨건 거야. 그리고 한 시간 동안 카운터에 있던 음료수 버렸고, 그게 Eric 거였을 걸.
Toby : (웃으며) 아이러니칼하군! Jacob이 처음으로 진실로 결백한 순간이었는데 그럼에도 벌을 받았으니 말이야!
