Library

We were on our way home from the Benicia Public Library. Buggy Bug had checked out two books.

Sonny: Mommy, Buggy Bug is taking the sticker off the book. (the barcode)
Me: Buggy Bug, you better stop doing that.
Buggy Bug: Is the police going to stop me? She asks in a surprisingly timid voice.
Me: Yes.
Buggy Bug: Are they going to put me in jail?
Me: Yes, so you better stop.
Buggy Bug: After a few minutes of silence. I know she was thinking hard about what she was going to say next. "It's okay if the police gets me, I will just kick him. I'm strong."

I talked to her about not messing other people's stuff up and how she can't kick policemen. I know I'm terrible for lying to her, but it bugs me when people mess library books up. To put your minds at ease, I have since repented. : )
