our little shoplifter

You may be asking yourself, "Bev, did you forget to change the time on your post? because it's reading 4:30 am"
Nope that's the right time.
I have a little boy that likes to wake up at odd hours of the night ready to play. I'm tired, but more tired of trying to put him back to sleep. So I've fed him, changed him, and let him play by himself on the floor. I hope he wears out soon...

I went out with my friend Jimmie today to the mall. It was nice to be able to hand Evan off to her while I shop a bit. We went to the Gap, and I did my usual routine of looking for deals. I found a hat and a cute little teddy bear for Evan and picked up 2 more for friends having babies. We walked over to the women's section and I found the perfect winter coat that fit me perfectly. After looking at the price tag that dream quickly faded. I'll wait till it goes on sale.
So we headed out to a store down the mall that might have winter coats at a better price. After walking through and not seeing anything I noticed that Evan was making cooing noises.
I looked down and what did I see?
Evan was so happy cause he had 3 teddy bears and a hat keeping him company!! I had just walked out of Gap with things still in the stroller. Of course I intended to buy them, but after my disappointment over the perfect coat I forgot about them. I'm very careful of what I put in the stroller while shopping cause I don't want to be accused of stealing. And here I was stealing without knowing it! I'm glad there wasn't a sensor on it, that would have been SO embarrasing!
We walked back into Gap and pretended to look around and then went to pay for the items. I'm really surprised how easy that was, but you won't see me and my accomplice make that mistake again.

Hey Beav-- Cute pic of Evan =D

"That guy" is one of my fellow CIRs (Coordinators for International Relations) who work in my prefecture. We met up in Nagoya to work on an upcoming presentation! He is a really big dork and likes to take silly photos, as you can see. :)

Hm... sounds like your little shoplifter had an accomplice - one of much greater accountability! ;) You must mend your ways O little one.

Hm... I think your little shoplifter had an accomplice of much greater accountability. Either that, or his cuteness was to the extent that the store workers and security just said "awww - it's ok" and everyone was actually accountable. :)
