As I was paying bills at my computer, I caught sight of Thalia sticking an elastic hair tie into her mouth.
"Thalia! Give that to Daddy. Here, honey, give that to Daddy!"
At first, she looked disgruntled about being caught, but she toddled over with a smile a few seconds later and handed it over.
"Thank you, Thalia, for giving it to Daddy! Good job!"
I turned in my chair and tossed the tie into the wastebasket. When I turned back around, she was tottering off with my wallet in her hand. She had swiped it right off my lap, that stinker!
