My Wife Does the Most Embarrassing Thing in Hotels. I’m Afraid Our Daughter Is Picking It Up. This has got to stop.
When we go on vacation, my wife is in the habit of taking things from the hotels we stay in, and I’m not talking about those little shampoo bottles and bars of soap. Over the years, she’s taken towels, pillows, pillowcases, blankets, utensils, salt and pepper shakers; she even somehow made off with a small table lamp once! She goes so far as to bring extra bags to load them up with whatever she can get her hands on. I find it embarrassing as hell, not to mention that it sets a bad example for our 7-year-old, whom she’s recruited into swiping stuff as well (our 12-year-old is as embarrassed as I am by it and fortunately, refuses to take part). My pleas to her to stop have fallen on deaf ears. What can I do to quash this before her sticky fingers end up landing us on the wrong side of hotel security?
