Sneaky Shoppers

Dear Sawyer,

Going shopping with you kids is dangerous because I never know what's going to end up in my cart! When GuhGaw and JieJie were your age and sitting in their strollers, they often grabbed things off of the shelves without me seeing them and then I'd pay for my things and walk out of the store, only to realize that GuhGaw was clutching a toy car or JieJie was holding a bag of chocolates. I always went right back into the store to return the shoplifted goods and luckily, we never got into trouble!

You exhibited equally sticky fingers today when we went to Trader Joe's and I kept finding things like a box of popcorn or bag of apples that you had thrown into the cart when I wasn't paying attention. Then when we were checking out and I was talking to GuhGaw, you grabbed a box of chocolate peanut butter cups from the shelf, walked over to the belt, stood on your toes and pushed it onto the belt with the rest of our groceries. The cashier almost rang the chocolates up, too, but I saw the contraband just in time. I said we weren't getting those and the cashier jokingly reprimanded you, "Hey, you almost got me into trouble!" Haha, you sneaky guy!

Love,
Mom
