Billy's out of town this weekend, so I took Will to the mall to buy a friend's birthday present. Running an errand with a toddler (particularly shopping) requires nerves of steel, eyes on the back of your head, and an arsenal of tricks (snacks, toys, etc.) to distract when said toddler starts to get fussy.
Will was in his stroller as I made my way through Bath and Body Works. He was getting antsy (these days, he'd rather be running in full-out sprint mode than sitting in a stroller), so I was trying to hurry and make my purchase---needless to say, I was a little distracted.
After my purchase was complete and we made our way back to the parking lot, I pulled Will out of the stroller to transfer him to the car. When I picked him up, I noticed a tube of lip gloss in the seat---he'd been sitting on it, and I hadn't seen it. Obviously, it was a little something he "swiped" while I was trying to pay and leave the store.
Will was pretty much done with our outing at this point and so was I, so I guiltily put the lip gloss in my car, promising to return it the next time I visit the mall.
Does this make me an accomplice?

yes it does, but only after the fact. They don't put you in jail for as long. : )
Don't feel bad. Rhett did the same thing with a tube of lipstick from Target! Those little fingers grab fast!
