How not to teach your 9-year old about honesty

If you found a camera that belonged to someone else would you:

1. Return the camera to its rightful owner

2. Give it to your son but offer to return the pictures

This is obviously a difficult choice for some people.

When I moved to Seattle I rented my first apartment was near the University of Washington. I spent some time driving a U-Haul trying to locate my apartment. I pulled into a gas station to ask for directions and fill up but ended up leaving my wallet on the back bumper of the U-Haul truck. I pulled out of the gas station and didn’t realize my mistake until few hours later. I returned to the gas station and found out that someone had found the wallet alongside the road, a block or so from the station and left a number to call. I called and not only did I get my wallet back with nothing missing, but this kind woman brought the wallet to me when I told her I wasn’t familiar with the area. I tried to give her the $40 I had in the wallet but she refused it.
