Honestly, Lily is an angel... most of the time. But occasionally she listens to that little devil on her shoulder when she knows she shouldn't.  Last week we had one of those days, and I came into the office to find her clicking away madly on the computer.  ....Ummmm, what are you doing child?  She knows she isn't allowed onto the computer alone, she knows that if caught death might ensue - she knows this... and yet there she was.  Well, I got after her shut down all of the tabs she had pulled up (goodness) and took away a few toys.  I was feeling pretty good about my parenting skills until I got a text from Kyle,

"You haven't let lily on amazon have you? There are two bills for video on demand."

From the back of my mind I suddenly remembered a bit of nonsense lily had been saying as I was closing everything down, "I want to watch the ballerina mommy!"

Uh-oh.

Luckily lily had some reserves saved up in her piggy bank (and hallelujah the bill only came to $6) so we began counting pennies.  Six hundred pennies is a lot of pennies and Lily quickly realized what was happening, so she ran over to the pile... and sat on it.  SO. MUCH. WEEPING.

I'm really hoping this won't happen again, the kid is freaking smart - I don't even know how she found her way to the Angelina Ballerina section of the internet - but I think mommy stealing her pennies has been burned into her memory... (insert evil laugh here)
