Why ask "Was it kids?"

Once I received a phone call that I was to be a guest on a talk show. I looked over at David to determine his culpability. He shook his head,took the phone and started asking questions.  Before long the pranksters hung up.  Not to be thwarted with his investigation, David pressed *9.  A woman (that I am sure looks a lot like Madea) answered the phone.  When David told her about our phone call, she asked, "Was it kee-ads?"  then turned away from the phone and yelled "I'm onna whoop yo a**!"

So shouldn't every investigation pose the question "Was it kids?"
