Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
Mary and Mitch had been going out for about one week when she found it. Mitch was driving her home after school, and he absentmindedly put their backpacks into the trunk. Mary glimpsed a body in the back, mostly covered by a body bag. It was a young boy, fully dressed, but one arm was broken. At first Mary was very surprised, but then she just laughed and shook her head. Why didn't she report the body to the police?
Hint
CLUES:The body bag was used for protection.
The boy was six years old.
The boy was not anyone Mary had ever seen before.
He was not related to Mitch.
Mitch loved the boy.
Answer
The "body" was a puppet that Mitch was using to practice ventriloquism.Mitch had told Mary several days before that he was an amateur ventriloquist, but she had never seen his puppet before. At the time of this story, Mitch was taking the dummy to someplace where his arm could be fixed.

Great teaser! I like the idea. Seemed kind of creepy at first.
I guessed a toy doll...
Assumtions made. I assumed it was a manequin or such. We couldn't know of conversations. Easy if you assume she does get scared by real dead bodies.
i want them to be siblings
mitch is 18
guessed some type of doll lol
Really hard at first but ur hints gave it away... still a good teaser
This seemed kind of eerie at first...
I'm not so sure I liked this one all that much. Mostly because there really wasn't that much info.
Needed a bit more info i think!!
Bit misleading. A body is not a doll so it didn't really work for me. Either it was a body - and the teaser said it was - or it wasn't a body.
ok 1. a puppet cant be called a "body"
2. ur clue says the boy is six yrs old. whats up with that??? a six-yr old puppet? Im sorry but this was dumb.

I agree with princess2007. A puppet is a non-living thing ,it can't have any age!
princess2007 and Munazza, The puppet could've been 6 years since its production.
