We have been packing for our big trip to Austria. Leilani was allowed one small bag of toys and a small bag of books. Not enough for her. While I was not watching she packed a few books into her suitcase, when came back and I asked she replied. “Its OK, my dad and I packed the books…” I did not believe it and asked Andy, who was innocent. So the books went out. I left the room once more, and a while later I had to rearrange a few items in the suitcase, and this time I found the books buried under quite a layer of – still nicely folded – clothes.
Leilani readily admitted that she had hidden the books, seemingly expecting that we’d reward her resourcefulness by letting her take more books. Although I had to smile, I did take them out – we are shooting for 3×50 pounds, and that is not easy…
