My Little Pink-Eyed Kleptomaniac

Well, here is the story. Nathan has always been a very free spirited person. He'll talk to anyone (I wonder where he got that from, Nana Deb) and yet he is a thinker and is wise (he gets that from Grammie Linda) So where does kleptomania come in? The other night I was at the grocery store paying for my groceries and Nathan was sitting on the top part of the basket. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him try to grab a Cadbury egg. Knowing that he has done this before, I quickly took the egg and moved the cart over saying, "Oh No, you aren't going to do that again." Well, my victory quickly departed when I noticed he was eating something. He had already had one unwrapped and partially in his mouth. I was so embarrassed because I had already paid. The clerk simply took the wrapper and said, "We call this 'a loss'." I thanked him for his generosity and basically skipped out of the store. You see, Nathan has done this before (stealing a Cadbury egg) and I actually noticed when we got out of the store. At that time, guilt had melted over my body, so I went in and paid for it. I have learned one lesson............move the cart over before anything is paid for.

Oh yeah, Nathan has Pink-Eye. He is doing better but has a double ear infection. Poor little guy, he just gives us the most disgusted look when we have to use the aspirator on his nose. I guess he just needs more Cadbury eggs.
