Today Frank saw a little boy in our back yard taking one of Alex’s toys. Frank went out and told the boy to put it back, which he did. Then he had Alex move all of his toys away from the fence so they can’t be seen from the street. As Alex did that he realized that his toy digger is missing. As you can imagine he took it quite hard.
We are learning about the 10 Commandments in Sunday School so we used this as a teaching point on how stealing hurts those who have been robbed. And how we should not steal.
Good news is Alex got an even bigger digger from K-Mart when we stopped to buy a lock for the gate.
As we were pulling up to our driveway the same boy was sitting by the road with another of Alex’s smaller toys that Alex overlooked. Frank told him to return it. He did, but came back with his grandma. He claimed it was his, but I knew it wasn’t and she knew it wasn’t. So both boys got a lesson.
