Where are the puppies?

Little B came home from school, to be greeted with enthusiasm by his two puppies. He put his shoes in the closet then proceeded to the living room where he settled himself with a library book.

A few minutes later, Simone noticed the anomaly.

"Little B," she called. "Where are the puppies?"

Little B looked up from his book. "In the closet," he said guilelessly.

"Little B!" Simone admonished. "The puppies don't belong in the closet. Really. Where are the puppies?"

Little B sighed and regretfully put his book down. He walked over to the hallway closet. "In here," he explained, enunciating carefully. "I put the puppies in here."

And, sure enough, he had.

(Since that day, the puppies greet little B with a lot less enthusiasm...)
