I brought Liam into Minneapolis Kids today with the stolen car. On the way over, I asked him what he was going to say. He said, “I stole it?”. I said, “What else?”. Helena chimes in that Liam has to say that he’s sorry.

When we were walking up to the door, I asked him who he would like to tell. He didn’t say anything. Two women were near the door so I waited to see if he would say anything, but he didn’t. When I went to the other room, he was still mum, so I pointed to one of the men who work there.

The guy says, “Hey, cool car? Where did you get it?”, which I thought was pretty funny. Liam still couldn’t talk, so I said, “Unfortunately, from here”. I then asked Liam what he had to say and he began crying but let out an “I’m sorry”. The guy then said that it was okay as long as he doesn’t do it again. I then got him out of the room quickly before he totally lost it. Besides, Helena would probably make a big fuss about it all night.

So I walked him to the other room where he put the car back. I didn’t say much else, but just put my hand on his head, then on his back and walked him back into the other room to start his day. I’d like to think that he won’t ever do it again.
