4. It's the sort of thing you'd expect a small child to do.

Any reasonably sentient adult could see that a hand-drawn line made with a Sharpie marker was not part of the official map and was added clumsily by someone who wanted the map to show something it didn't show. It's amazingly, transparently stupid.

Donnie: My dog ate my homework!

Teacher: Really? Can you bring me a note from your mom?

(the next day)

Donnie: Here's the note from my mom.

Teacher: It says, "Donnie's dog ate my homework. Love, Donnie's mom." Did your mom really write this?

Donnie: Yes! And here's a picture of my dog eating my homework!



Teacher: That's not your homework.

Donnie: Yes, it is! I just wrote "homework" on it so you'd know it was my homework.

Teacher: I'm calling your mom.

Donnie: You can't.

Teacher: Why?

Donnie: She's... dead. Yeah, that's it. She's dead.

Teacher: When did that happen?

Donnie: Last week. I've been home alone all by myself and I couldn't stop my dog from eating my homework because my mom is dead.

Teacher: Then how did she write the letter?

Donnie: Actually my grandma wrote it. It's her dog that ate my homework.

Teacher: So I'll call your grandma, then.

Donnie: Um, she's... not home. She might be dead, too.

And so forth....
