',, somewhere. _
*. Now Iam being punished, but I would almost rather
take the punishment than have my mother think my
- girlfriend is a thief. Abby, I turned the house upside down
+, looking for those cosmetics,-and they are just gone!
“ Should I tell my mother I had nothing to do with it, and
“it just had te be that girl? Or should I take the punishment

“and let it go? ;
