It's an apple slicer from IKEA, colored red, and now I think we all know why. Instead of using one of those @$#&* carts with no wheel drive, I opted for my stroller. I got a couple of things, plus this impulse "buy", which I placed in the bottom of the stroller. Due to an overly hydrated Littlest, the diaper bag wound up on top of it. By the time I discovered it, I was at the car, fully loaded, complete with one screaming child and two whining ones (and no earplugs! - hoowww did I let that happen?!). There was NO WAY I was going to unload everybody to rectify the situation. So here I am, in my den of thieves with absolutely no desire to go back.Kind of reminds me of the time I was 9 or so and (purposely) stole a pack of watermelon Bubbalicious. I couldn't resist the sweet sweet taste of Bubbalicious - I was human, after all! We got home from the store and my mom said, hey, where'd that come from? And I was all, uh, I, uh, found it on the, uh, sidewalk. Even then, a fabulous liar. (A thief AND a liar? Lordy.) Mom made me go back to the store, apologize to the manager (who, incidentally, was wearing a blue vest and stripped shirt - nothing like a traumatic event to fire up the memory), give it back and pay for it. Way to whip me into shape, Mom! Sorry you lived to see the day I did it again - wait, that didn't come out right.
I will go back, apologize to the manager and pay for it. Perhaps stopping for an ice cream cone to make up with myself for all the trouble I caused.

We'll all keep you accountable now.
The way I see it, we have probably been overcharged at one point or another so it all even out right? I guess I don't have as big of a conscience as you do!(does that make me a bad person?)
Definitely get a soft serve cone on the way out. It's the only way to go!
...and a hot dog. Mmmmm... IKEA...
Why didn;t you stuff a nice book case or something in there?
You thief you:) This is why I don't bring my stroller in stores. I always think that they will think I'm trying to sneak stuff in my stroller.And check me at the door or something. Anyway. I love Ikea!
I think we've all done this. Oopsie. I'd call them and let them know what happened.
Well, I know better than to use my good silver when you come over for dinner!!! LOL!
This has happened to us a few times and we didn't even have a stroller. I "stole" a bag of dog food a year ago and when I discovered it -- well, there was no way that I was carrying that bag of dog food back to the store. Nope.
They can just bite me.
And I'm a missionary. Yikes!
Blessings!
