Pepper Spray at a Wedding Reception?

[AlphaFrog]

My daughter is almost TWO. If you bring it in to her (our, but she thinks it's her) house, it's fair game-she's going to touch it, and probably attempt to claim it. BUT when we are out in public, she doesn't touch things that aren't given to her (with the exception of clothes at the clothing store...she sees everyone else touching them, so it's hard to teach her why SHE shouldn't touch them).

I cannot imagine a FOUR year old who doesn't know better then to touch other people's things, but like ya'll have pointed out, we know where to look for that.

If I were the bride, I'd be tempted to send the bills for any unused items (due to the clearing out from the pepper spray) to the parents. No child at any age should be in other people's purses or keys. Yes, children are curious, but that's why raising a child is called parenting.

If you can take the time to have a child, then take the time to teach the child his or her boundries - including the sanctity of going through other people's property!!
