Back in October she and a friend got caught shop lifting at Kroger and they pressed charges. It took a while but she finally had her court date yesterday. She got off relatively easy ... especially compared to how scared I had her. She was convinced that she'd be wearing a sign that said she was a shoplifter and standing out front of the store. 
It was kinda funny in a not-so-funny way. The judge had both the girls wringing their hands and biting their lips while she talked about the possibility of lock-up detention and ALPHA (the local school for delinquents). They ended up with no more than a letter of appology to the store and having to complete a course of theft prevention.
I, of course, got hit with the fees and expenses of it all. I have to pay $130 just by Friday. *sigh*
I'm considering having Haley pay it off in some way ... not sure what yet though.
I love having a teenager.

I understand kids do this for the thrill of it. I hope she's learned her lesson. I would make her pay you back. How much babysitting and house cleaning will it take?
