About a month ago, I needed a few things from CVS. The boys and I walked over there, and I promised Luke a small prize since he had been such a good boy all day. He chose this policeman set- cheesy, cheap and plastic, but it has handcuffs, which he calls "key changes"- he says that's what Jack Sparrow calls them- a working flashlight, a badge, a walkie-talkie, and a whistle. I especially like the Poncharello glasses.
Oh, the irony. On the way home from the store, Luke says, "Mommy..." in that voice that can ONLY mean trouble. He is revealing to me a pack of purloined Orbit sugarfree gum that he has lifted from the CVS and stowed in his little pocket. I whipped my stroller around and walked my little officer back to that CVS where he confessed his crime to the store manager. The man was nice but he could have stifled his giggle and played along a little better when I asked "Are you going to need to call the police?" Still, Luke was appropriately freaked out.

Reminds me of an old episode of "Leave It To Beaver" and congratulations---you did the exact same thing that June and Ward Cleaver did! Love, Bumpa
