My kids are little thieves. To date they have stolen:
My girlish figure
My sleep
My peace of mind
Entire chunks of my budget
My quiet time
And (this is almost unforgivable) sometimes they snitch from my chocolate stash.
I ask you, what do I get in return?
Hugs.
Hm.
Fair trade.

Aww. Perfect way to end that post. And my kids are kleptos too.
I guess I'll have to take imaginary hugs from The Hoff.
:) Those kids, taking all the important things.
But giving back quite a bit. I get more kisses than hugs at my house, though. And I love it.
This is such a cute post Melanie! And so true. =)
Lol. My little sneaks have also begun to steal the pigment from some of my hair. Not a lot, but just enough that I'm starting to notice.
Funny. Yeah, they do steal things, fer sure.
Love it.
Totally worth the trade.
Amen.
And even though the hugs make for nice bail, I have to admit I'm an advocate of a little jail time. (In my house we call that "go read quietly in your room until mom can function again.")
Yeah, I'd say hugs are a good trade. And an occasional "I love you, Mongie" doesn't hurt either.
THAT made me giggle!! Sooo true!
Hugs are okay and all. But from your chocolate stash?? There's no making up for that.
hee hee!
This is my favorite kind of post.
Even when they start stealing stuff like, oh, your SANITY when the hormones kick in, they still pay back with things like, "I love you, Mom," and little acts of surprise service.
Hard to resent the little thieves, isn't it? :)
Hm. Thieves who give something back. I guess they know how to escape punishment. : )
More than fair, and so well said.
Love this post. I nodded my head the whole way through...now, to reclaim some of that chocolate!
Let's see...you are a mom of young children.......sometimes, you wait a LIFETIME for the rewards
but they come
they do
and they bring great joy
This is the difference between moms and dads. I don't forgive food theft for hugs!
I think it is a fair trade, too (at least 75% of the time).
