Unspeakable trouble

Today, I'm in trouble for something I did because I was told to do it, even though it turns out that I wasn't supposed to do it or even know that it needed doing. I did it anyway. Or rather, I told other people to do it, but not to tell anyone that they were doing it. They did it, and didn't even tell me they did it, but they did it all the same. But someone who shouldn't have known about it checked just in case they had done it, discovered it was done, and then told everyone. And now I'm done for.
