We believe in being honest . . .

1. the quality or fact of being honest; uprightness and fairness
2. truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness
3. freedom from deceit or fraud

Kiersten took 2nd place in her book battle last week and for winning received a certificate and a box of Sweethearts. They were casually placed on her dresser as she went to school the following Monday. This particular day preschool was at our house and at the conclusion everyone left but Ash and Casey. I found the two of them in Ashlyn's and Kiersten's room with the door locked. Only later when Kiersten arrived home from school did Ash freely confess they had been eating Kiersten's Sweethearts.

The next day Kiersten hid her box of Sweethearts. Ashlyn's immediate response to this when Kiersten came home was "I didn't eat any of your Sweethearts because I couldn't find them." It was also a little ironic that Ash would choose to read A Children's Book about Snooping for our family read-a-thon. Ash, it's not a how-to book, but a don't-do book. I hope Kiersten hid those Sweethearts well.
