k is for klepto

K has in the past shown tendancies - playing with toys, kitchen timers, cups at other people's houses only to shove them in her bag, where I find them at our home hours or days later. Yesterday, she may have taken the cake (not literally - it was more about taking the toothpaste!).

We were out shopping, and she takes her little shopping bag with her, just to have something to hold, rather than the entire basket which was already weighed down with goods. Yesterday I gave her the toothpaste and told her to take it to daddy, as she was getting bored of the whole "hold hands in the shop, don't touch everything" routine. At the register, she didn't have anything in her hands, but was getting antsy so we proceeded, J paid for everything while we took the anpanman nappies and started to walk to the car for a nappy change, after which we spent 15mins trying to get her into her car seat. It was during this time that she pulled out a nice new UNPAID-for tube of toothpaste from her little shopping bag! oooooooooooooooooooops.

ok, theoretically, we were still in the carpark, and could have gone back to pay for the tube of toothpaste, but...well.....too much hassle. and still had a not-wanting-to-get-in-carseat-for-anything-kid to deal with so we let it go. bad me! But I really must watch her next time and check HER bags for things before we get to the supermarket. Or else I may see her on tv, being busted by the manbiki g-men !
