Writers can get away with...
Working on a short story for the 5yp. Thought I would set it in my hometown. I posted to the family chat, asking about a tunnel system that runs underneath downtown. I know one of my girls had learned about it in a class at some point but I couldn’t remember who or any details.
I got my answer.
But out of my five girls and my husband, not one cared to ask me WHY I need to know about tunnels.
I can ask any question I want, and no one suspects anything.
