I am not the mother of a Capri-Sun Thief (sort of)

Today Rebecca and I were swimming at our good friends up the street. They are very sweet to allow us to use the pool when they are at work during the day. Now a month or so ago Rebecca was also told to feel free to help herself to a drink from the garage fridge if she desired (I was not a part of that particular conversation).

Anyway, today Rebecca and I had a pleasant swim and I was working through my water aerobics (staying fit and avoiding lipofuze, yeah me) when Rebecca excused herself from the water. I automatically assumed she was going to use the pool house bathroom. Not a minute later this ear piercing alarm goes off, and Rebecca comes running from the garage holding a Capri-sun.

Well they had set the alarm system because an expensive motorcycle was sitting in the garage....and my child being the little thief that she is had set it off. So while I awaited the imminent arrival of the police, and called our friends to find out how to turn it off. I was ranting to my teary eyed eleven yr old about stealing drinks from people's fridge was still stealing no matter what!

It was not a fun afternoon.....
