My niece, the young klepto
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:55 pm
So I was at the market with my brother and 2 year old niece. After shopping for a bit and having everything in one bag, we go to a small store and my niece grabbed some gingerroot and walks up to me and tries to casually place it in the bag of stuff we already bought. I don't think she intended to do it, but I let her know we didn't want that. Then at the next store, my niece tries to walk out holding a small bag of spice without paying for it. Again, I don't think she understood the concept of buying stuff.
We get home, put her to bed for a nap, and start unloading what we bought. My brother goes, "hey, I thought you didn't want to get any spice?" I told him I didn't, and he holds me up a thing of Mediterranean spice and go, "but didn't you buy this?" I start laughing and tell him no but that it seems that even though I stopped it twice, Josie still managed to put something in the bag! We both near died laughing, it was just one of those moments where everything "clicked" and you couldn't not laugh.
Anyone ever have this happen?
When I was younger, I was pretty much a klepto. I stole about $50 worth of pogs/slammers, and mind you those are like $0.50 a piece so I nabbed a lot. Then I moved on up to action figures and stuff before stopping for awhile. Then when I was in Italy I saw a really cool keychain that I wanted so I quietly nabbed that. I stopped for awhile but I've had a couple of other "hiccups" from time to time. I'm always tempted with small items but I can usually restrain myself enough to not do it.
