Today was a day that was busy with many activities. The girls and I had many errands to run in preparation for the evenings activities, including a trip to the grocery store. We rushed home to continue our preparations.
This afternoon, right as I started getting dinner together for the kids and to bake a dish for the Relief Society activity tonight, Tyler came and asked if he could have some orange gum. I asked him what gum he was talking about because I had not bought any orange gum lately. He said he wanted the same gum Olivia had and she would not share it.
I called Olivia downstairs and noticed that her mouth was packed full of orange gum that she has put in her pocket when we were at the store.
I turned off the stove and oven, packed up Olivia (the boys went to the neighbors house) and took her back to the store to pay for the gum. The whole time she was crying and saying she was sorry and did not want to go to the store. When we got there, we went to the Customer Service desk and waited in line. Olivia was burying her head in my shoulder when it was our turn in line. I asked her to tell the lady what had happened. She refused to make eye contact.
After paying for the gum, Olivia and I headed home. She was a much more humble girl. We are hoping that this lessons sticks!!
