Blatant omission of bubbles

Location of the crime: My bathroom.
Evidence: An empty bottle of body wash.
Suspect: E, of course. Last seen taking a shower last night.

This morning, 6am:

Me: "E! This bottle was brand new! What happened, bud?"
E: "Nothing. It was almost empty."
Me: "Was not! I just opened it on Friday."
E: "Right. But it was almost empty after it spilled."
Me: "It spilled? How?"
E: "When I took the lid off, it spilled all over the place."
Me: "Why did you take the lid off?"
E: "I don't know. It probably wasn't a good idea."
Me: "Well, no, it wasn't---"
E: "---But it was crazy. There were bubbles everywhere! It almost filled up the whole tub!"
Me: "What?! How come you didn't say anything about it when you got out of the shower?"
E: "I figured it wasn't the best way to end our night. It was almost bedtime."
Me: "You need to let me know next time."
E: "I will. But we'll forget all about this by the time we get home tonight, right?"
