How to Steal your Mom's gum: a guidebook



1. Smile and look really cute when Mom sees you checking out her bag





2. Make adorable innocent face, flutter your eyelashes
"What are you looking at Mom? I've got nothing here"




3. Hold up your hands to prove your innocence. This will put off any suspicions of wrong doing.



4. When caught in the act, just go with the flow. Pretend everything is normal and maybe Mom will go along with it.
Tip: If Mom still isn't buying it, give your best smile to Dad, who always caves in. He's a sucker every time!



5. Triumph! "At last, I have you in my hands. I knew I could pull it off again!"

Adorable! It feels like she is just growing up really fast in the past few months. The smile at the end is priceless.

She has got her technique down for sure! It's hard to resist her sweet face, crazy antics and hilarious way of talking. I just love her!

what a sneak...Our kids have all read the same book, instead of giving US a handbook on how to raise THEM they give kids that one, with the chapter on 'contraband' highlighted!

This is as great little photo-essay, Robyn. How can you resist that face?

I love the photos documenting this! So cute! I too have children that have read this same guidebook -- what is with stealing all of my gum?!?!

I remember Olivia doing the exact same thing at one of Tabitha and Austin's soccer games many moons ago. Sneekiness must run in the family.
