The Phantom Strikes!

The following notes were posted on the fridge of my mother-in-law recently. With great foresight, she saved these three hilarious samples from her daughters' childhoods. I have not yet been able to determine which one of these Zen nuggets was written by my wife. I wonder if she is the Phantom?

"The cat made a mess in the laundry room. I'd clean it up but I didn't see it."

"I will be home when I get there. If not home by the time I'm supposed to be, call and tell whoever answers that I need a ride."

"Everybody: don't lock the front door. I've lost my key again. Phantom"
