There is a lady who lives in Grammy and Poppy's building and has a bowl of fake lemons in front of her door (amongst other summery decor). Since Lydia discovered the lemons last week, she now stops there to take one each time we walk by her door, coming and going from Grammy and Poppy's place. It began very innocently... Lydia snatched a lemon, Grammy thought it was cute, and committed to herself that she would return it later. Of course when later came, Lydia was so happy with her lemon, we thought... "It won't hurt to let her take it home...and we'll return it tomorrow." So tomorrow came, we forgot the lemon in the car, and when Lydia walked by the bowl, naturally she stopped to take another lemon. Now we had 2. So this week, we returned 2 lemons, but how many has she taken since then? 2. She has surpassed amateur-level theft status and moved on to professional. One lemon for each hand, and she's so cute about it, we can't say no. (Besides, with 2 year olds, you pick your battles.) Yesterday morning, Grammy returned the 2 latest lemons, but Lydia came home with 2 again. With my cell phone, I grabbed a picture of her with her contraband...
