Once upon a time, there was a lady who had a hundred children. Being somewhat deprived of creativity, she named them all in the order that they were born "One", "Two", "Three" and so on.
Tragically, 99 of the children were all killed in an accident, and the only one who survived was Ninety.
Ninety grew up and had a happy life (apart from losing 99 of her siblings), got married, and ended up having some children of her own. The one thing that she couldn't stand was to have pets - the children pestered her to get a dog but she was adamant that this was a pet-free house.
One day, the children found a stray dog and decided to adopt it. They kept it hidden from their mother, and named it "This" so that they could refer to it without arousing her suspicions. The would say "let's take This outside," for example rather than saying that the dog needed to go for a walk.
Sadly, the dog passed away after not too long, but through their grief they managed to keep the secret and never let their mother know that they had a dog who died. And still, to this day, she is oblivious and nobody else knows about the long-departed family pet, apart from the children.
Only Ninety's children remember This.
