As for stealing the squeegee, Mom, just call me a "freedom fighter".
Frankly, I just don't consider theft a form of freedom fighting. I consider theft a form of CRIME--whether it's a squeegee or robbing a bank. I actually let my 15 year old son spend a night IN JAIL for shoplifting a bag of PEANUTS from a Kroger grocery store YEARS ago. I thought that it would be one of the most valuable lessons I could teach him and, to my knowledge, he's never stolen ANOTHER THING and he's 40 years old now. He can actually THANK me now for taking a stand and doing something that he knows was one of the toughest things I've ever had to do. It's called "TOUGH LOVE".
