My kids have this obnoxious habit of having to borrow something every time we visit the grandparents. It has been going on for years and I am pretty sure it started with not wanting to put toys that they were playing with away. We have tried to teach them that borrowing means you give it back. I usually have bags of stuff to return to both grandma's when we are over for visits.
Last week, Tessa took her borrowing addiction to a whole new level when she had to borrow a particular spoon she had used to eat her dessert. Ma was nice enough to let Tessa borrow it and Tess brought it home and proudly displayed it on her dresser, making sure to take special care of it until she could use it at breakfast the next morning. She calls the spoon "My Special Trusty Spoon" and uses it everyday. I told my parents they might want to start hiding their art and throw pillows cause who knows what these kids will need to "borrow" next time we are over!
