I shot the sister (but I did not shoot the deputy)

When I was a child my Dad always used to tell me, on asking where Mum was, 'She went mad, so I shot her'. I have worked very hard to get my kids to accept this statement - at first Euey would get very angry at me and shout 'Don't shoot my Daddy!'. I think this exchange proves I have finally gotten there:

E: Where's Aoife?
G: She went mad, so I shot her.
E: (thinks for awhile) But where is she dead?
