Do not touch PART 1

Talking with one of my girlfriends this past weekend she shared a story about her little girl allowing herself into Mom's purse. It was field trip day and Mom signed the slip and placed some money into the envelope for spending and the rest she threw back into her purse. Well, it seems her daughter cared for more than what was given. The next day when my girlfriend went to go spend the money she threw back into her purse it was no longer there. She knew, after thinking about it, there was really only one culprit. Waiting for the day to end and picking her little girl up from school they seemed to have regular conversation when Mom prompted her to see her reaction. "Baby, Mommy went to eat some lunch today and couldn't find the money that was in her purse." Immediately  her daughter chimed in and said that it was her who took the money and it was under the couch. At this point Mom praised her on not lying and then discussed the importance of not touching what was hers. There was a warning as well to the her daughter that should she touch what was not hers in the future, lie or not, she would be grounded.
