Oh yes! All of what you just said happens in our house, too! But like they say, nothing is forever!

OK, how is this for chutzpah?! My DD goes into my drawer in my bathroom and just takes stuff out. Even though I'm in the house, she doesn't bother asking or even telling me. Yesterday, I was looking all over for some of my makeup items. I emptied out drawers and couldn't understand what had happened. She finally told me that she had taken them. AARGH!!


But I can even beat that. One day, she decided she wanted a bigger bed than her twin bed. She went into the guest room and took the queen-sized bed! She moved it, the mattress, the box spring, EVERYTHING into her room all on her own! I don't think I could even move that without diffculty. And she is a teensy girl--only 5'1" and about 100 lbs. How do you just go and take a bed....without even asking?!
