Children bore Leonie to tears, but she pretends to like them. . .for a very unusual reason. What is it? | ||

Leonie=HAF? Does her job have to do with children? Is her job otherwise relevant? Is she trying to get children to think she likes them? Other adults? (I'm assuming she's an adult.) Children=boys? girls? both? Age: 0-4? 5-9? 10-14? Older? Does Leonie have children? Is she married? Divorced? Engaged? In a relationship? Does she have relatives who are children? Is her own childhood relevant? | ||

Does Leonie benefit from pretending to like children in a way she wouldn't if she admitted she wasn't keen on them? Would she lose her job if it were known that she didn't like them? Would she lose friends? Money? Her home? Would there be some other consequence if she admitted the truth? | ||

Is it at all relevant what her job is? Does she deal with children directly? Talk to them? Does she actively pretend to like children? Or does she simply tell people she does? Is she doing anything illegal? Location relevant? Time period? Other people relevant? | ||

Does she say "I like children", or words to that effect? Does she say something which, for it to be true, would mean she must like children? Is the "yope" to losing money because she wouldn't lose it so much as not acquire it? Because she would have to pay more for something that she currently gets for free, or at a discount? Would she be no longer entitled to something if she revealed that she didn't like children? Does she actually say she doesn't like children? Or indicate it on a form? Type it? Write it? Is the crime she is committing fraud? Does she live in a country with a welfare system? Is she claiming benefits/tax relief under false pretences? | ||

Is her having the job she does the way in which she pretends to like children? Does she pretend to like them in order to explain why she has that job? To explain why she goes to a certain place? Does a certain thing? Does she pretend to a certain group of people? Coworkers? Friends? Family members? Officials? To one person only? | ||

Do children like her? Does she state this on official documents? In order to do something official (like get a license, cross a border, etc)? Are any of the following relevant? Her age? Race? Salary? Location? Interest/hobbies? Physical activities? Mental activities? Is the illegal action a felony? Misdemeanor? Does she do it alone? In cooperation with others? Would it be illegal if she in fact liked children? Does she use her apparent like of children to distract attention from the illegal activity? If authorities were aware she was lying would they be suspicious about her activities? | ||

Does she get an allowance for something? Does she get vouchers? Does she imply that she has children? That she is going to have a child? Does she pretend to be pregnant? Does she claim that she does things with the children she works with that in fact she doesn't? Does she claim expenses she doesn't actually incur? Is she defrauding her employers? The state? A financial institution? | ||

Does she receive actual money? Or something else of material value? A lump sum? A regular payment? From the government? If it was known that she didn't like children, would she be unable to receive the money? Would it be revealed that she had been committing a crime? Is the money she receives intended as payment for some service? As compensation for something? As aid for someone who needs it? Can some people get money in this way through legal means? Does she have the job working with children because this is necessary for her crime? Or would she have that job anyway? Did she get the job under false pretences? Does she pretend to like a specific thing about children? To enjoy doing a specific thing with children? To want to help children? Or just that she generally likes children? That she wants to spend time with them? | ||

Is the money given to her directly because people think she likes children? Because they think she does a particular thing with children? Does she get it some other way, but when people ask her what she's doing she can't say 'I'm committing fraud' so has an excuse that implies she likes children? Is the pretending to like children more a way of covering her back while she commits her crime? Does she pretend to enjoy working with children? To enjoy doing child-related charity work? Is adoption relevant? Is a specific age, or age group of child relevant? Is there a particular group of children she pretends to like? Is education relevant? | ||

Are there international implications? Does she imply that what she does helps children in some way? Does she obtain money under false pretenses? Could one of these false pretenses involve adoption under certain circumstances? Kidnapping or slavery relevant? | ||

Was she made infertile as the result of some accident? As the result of negligence by an individual or company? Through the fault of someone other than her? Or is she claiming she was? Is she suing anyone? Would she not receive the compensation if it was known that she had never wanted children so being infertile didn't affect her? Is she claiming for money to cover the costs of having to adopt instead? The costs of fertility treatment? | ||

Unlike me, L. has become infertile through a botched medical procedure. Also unlike TERRIBLY UPRIGHT ME, she is willing to lie for financial gain. So she pretends that she has always wanted to have children, which enables her to sue for compensatory damages. Thanks for solving it, clever Enjoy. and, everyone please check out my new puzzle!!!! |
