Is this a warning sign?

So my little Emma has been exhibiting some disturbing behavior. And i wonder at what point as a parent looking back at "the signs" did you know you should have seen it coming.

She is not quite 3. I must start with this.

The other day we were visiting her little friend "IRA" aka Aria, for a playdate and had a wonderful time. After emma's nap time I noticed her fly was undone and as I asked her about it she immediately stuck her hand down her pants and pulled out a little viewmaster slide from one of Aria's toys she evidently had stolen from her friend's home earlier that day.

Is this the kind of thing that you look back on and think this was a warning sign that my daughter would be a kleptomaniac?

I thought I would try to not over react until yesterday. When Emma was playing with money she'd found on Jon's bedside table and told me she couldn't find it. I told her to look in her play wallet (the logical place) and instead, again she shoved her hand down the front of her pants and voila a fiver and then a tenner. I couldn't help but think I could envision my future appearance on Jerry Springer with the show titled "I knew my child was destined to be a stripper when..."

But seriously, I laughed the hardest when as she walked away a folded 10 dollar bill slid out of the bottom of her pant leg, apparently she missed it and didn't notice!!

what a kid. if you ever need a laugh my kid is full of them.

That is hilarious!
I guess you can never use the line "Money doesn't grow on trees!"
She'll just say, "Yeah I know, it comes out of my butt!"

Ha ha ha
You're in for it now!
