The Shoplifter!
Well the kids and I had to run some errands this morning - one of the stops was, of course Walmart. Why do I feel like I live there? Maybe because I'm there like everyday - okay an exaggeration, but it's far to often then I'd like. So - we're getting our necessary things and things that we really don't need but think we have to have - impulse shoppers for sure! Ha ha ha! We're getting checked out, the nice check out lady talks to Landen who is sitting up front in the cart - buckled in and all. She even gives him a sticker, we take our bag and head out the door. Get all the way to the car and what do we have - a car that someone just had to carry around the store. How did the check out lady not see that? I of course was too busy to check my smugglers hands before leaving the store - isn't that her job? No, she's too busy giving stickers!!! Anyway, so we get to the car and I realize we're shoplifters and head back in. Thinking I'm doing the 'right' thing - well when I get in there they actually made me feel like a shoplifter. I wanted to grab the car and run - all I can think of is that part in Fun with Dick and Jane (I haven't even seen the entire movie) where they hold up some store and then drive like crazy when no one is even after them. Okay, so I'm laughing - whatever! Anyway, I wanted to race out of there and actually steal the stupid car - why can't they just be nice and "oh it happens, thanks for bringing it back." Oh well - add shoplifter to my long list of names! Oh and I think since I have to blame someone for this happening I will blame my sister because just last week we were talking about taking things and not even knowing. Way to go Beck!

That's just stupid for them to treat you like a shoplifter..he's 2 years old and took something that cost $1...certainly not a criminal!!
ps. where are the porch pics?!?! =]
Ok so just add that to the list. First we were talking about getting pulled over by cops and you (sort of) do, now this. Haha strange.
They actually got MAD at you??!! Um, yeah, my pre-schooler is a hardened criminal, people---RIGHT! Landon actually told someone at the Fresh Market the other day (when asked what he'd been up to): "Oh, just doing crimes." ????!!!! Oooooo-kaaaayyyyyy! Not sure where he got that--Maybe they really are little Criminal Baby Geniuses! ;oP
Silly staff. I'm sorry you had to deal with that nonsense. It strange what people do sometimes. My one friend's son stole a candy bar at age 5 and when she made him bring him back and apologize the lady at the till that's ok do you want a cookie? A reward for stealing?....and at 5 they know not to take without asking. some people just don't get it.
