The Tattle Turtle was a toy turtle Susan brought when Rodrick and Greg were younger, the idea was if the both of them have complains of each other, instead of going to Susan, they will just tell it to Tattle Turtle. Greg reported many things like when Rodrick robbed his piggy bank, but since it was fake, Rodrick was able to get away with any bad thing he did to Greg. Susan came up with the idea when she was a teacher at a pre-school.
