Sweet Nothings...

Over the course of the last 10 days, we’ve had a difficult time procuring some basic food products from the local grocery – mainly salt and sugar. So the other night in the middle of our delicious meal at The California Pizza Kitchen, Anne noticed a treasure at the end of table and said slyly out of the corner of her mouth in a low voice, “Hey, they have sugar packets.” Scott, picking up on the golden opportunity replied, “Sweet – they also have Equal.” The rest of the conversation played out as such:

Anne: “You think they’d miss a few packets?”
Scott: “No, I think it would be OK.”
Juliet (in an outside voice): “You need some help mom?”
Anne: “No.”
Scott: “Quick – no one’s looking.”

And …just… like…that, the deed was done. In the span of 20 seconds we had swiped 6 packets of sugar and Equal from CPK and had stooped to a new low – condiment thieves.
