The chore idea was a good one. That way she is reminded for quite a while about the concequences of her actions.
At 7, yes she should now better, but she is still akid. I don't think kids always think out what they are going to do and what the outcome will be. That kind of thinking is a developmental milestone issue and just needs to be worked on over time (I know some adults I would like to teach it to, along with a smack upside the head though :P )
My son has always had the idea "No" means "Not while I'm watching." He will sit right behind my chair to do something and if I try to swivel it, he'll put his arm out to stop me from turning around and looking. If he goes in another room and is quite, I know there is truble. My favorite though is when he gets in trouble and he tells me "Go away" or "turn around" like that will make it ok :P
