Is my kid a clepto?

Sooooo, Izzy and I saw the matinee of Annie Sunday and I gotta say it was fantastic. I didn't remember the movie - just that she was an orphan, obviously. But I am committed to exposing Iz to as much live theater as possible - other than Barney Live, Care Bears Live! and Dorothy (she calls her "Dorky"!) the Dinosaur from the Wiggles. We saw CATS last year and then some other smaller local theater shows. And she remembers every one of them and the location in which we saw it. "Mommy! That's where we say Dorky!" every time we pass the venue. I guess I hope she'll acquire the love I have for it, but maybe not the fact that I CRY no matter what the freaking show is. RENT, the Vagina Monologues, Alladdin, doesn't matter. It's just the whole live thing. I've made a vow to start theater acting when I'm 40. I'm feeling I missed my calling and the possibility of Rock Star is long gone. But you see all sorts of old chicks in theater. Or, maybe lounge singer?.....
anyhoo~she was good the first 3/4 but then it went downhill, and to save her the embarrassment, I won't go into it other than to say she STOLE the freaking dog off the souvenir table! (This brings to mind during Christmas when, as she was riding on CHris' choulders thru Vici's Secret, we discovered she had stolen a plastic ice cream cone full of panties. They were x-smalls, unfortunately, so we took em back. :) ....anyway, she stole the dog for a split second, I gave it back of course to the guy who thought I must be the worst mother ever to havea clepto for a daughter, and had to carry her out, yes, kicking and screaming, of a full lobby.

I shoulda left like a considerate parent but dammit I wanted to see if Daddy Warbucks really adopted her because I honestly did not remember the story! Oh, and the actor who played him -- a drama teacher of 20 years who fulfilled his lifelong dream of stage acting by landing this role! Whaaaa ! I'm crying right now! A big bald thing of a man and look! He fulfilled his dream! I'm veclemped.
Chris told her "they" would take her and put her in jail if she took things that weren't hers. What's jail? She asked. It has bars. "Then what do they do?" I think she's weighing her options.
Sooo, the moral? There's not one. Just wanted to share.
