Summary[]
Janet's prized pen she received as a graduation gift is missing, and Jack sees Chrissy take money out of his room. Therefore, they suspect that Chrissy might be a kleptomaniac. Later, when Jack and Janet notice that Chrissy comes home wearing a shawl that belonged to Mrs. Roper, they panic and attempt to hide the shawl from Mr. Roper, who was fixing something in the kids' kitchen. Jack and Janet then sit Chrissy down, hoping to get to the root of the problem.
