QUOTE="Lamima, post: 17265984, member: 105844"]So, playing devil's advocate here..
Say they were hanging out at someone else's house, maybe sibling's (hence having the nephew), partying or whatever. They left to come home, bringing the nephew (maybe they were going to babysit, maybe they were at a parent's house and extended family cares for this nephew???), and stopped at a convenience store for some items. Maybe one of them stayed in car with kids. Maybe the 1 yo had an accident or spilled on his pants so he was just in diaper and shirt. Then they got back home and things happened as they described. Maybe.
Also my mom keeps car key on separate lanyard from all her keys. Don't know why. And we keep our 2nd car key on it's own keychain separate. In our case it's because the hubs works from home and we mostly use our other car. So instead of having the 2 big clunky new fangled key fob things smashed up with all our house and mailbox (our parent's house, daughters' house, vacay house) keys and those little shoppers tags...we keep the secondary car key separate (plus we once had 2 for the car and one no longer works so we share the 1 key).
But all the things put together, yeah, something seems rotten in Denmark.[/QUOTE]
I've kinda been playing devil's advocate the entire time but made it clear what I think.
I don't see the grocery shopping late night that odd. We did it sometimes because that's how it worked out for us. That said, we don't even know they were grocery shopping late at night. All we were told was they were carrying grocery bags in at 1 a.m.
Nonperishable stuff easily could have been bought earlier in the day and this was the first time they'd been home.
The keys?
Two adults. One used their set to open their apartment,the other left theirs in the car.
No pants?
Exactly like you said. They got soiled somehow. They were wet. I'd rather have a dry diaper and dry blanket wrapped around my baby than have them in wet pants on a chilly night.
I just don't buy any of it.
