    What was the point? I'm sure it will depend a lot on your age and your mother's past. Here's the problem, if it wasn't an accident and than can be proven your mother can be in more trouble than just the shoplifting because she did it with you, her child. It will also depend on your state and cost of the calendar?

    You will receive a hearing and be required to pay restitution to the store and possibly put on probation. I was thinking if you were a minor your mother could be in more serious trouble. Good luck
