Earlier this month we were in Central Park asking our ”Question of the Week” videoblog. The question was “Have you ever stolen anything…and how did it make you feel.”
I think this episode is really fun. The answers are interesting…a lot of candy and rings that day. In our small slice of life it seemed kids steal things…more than adults…well, at least people are willing to admit that they stole something as a kid. I love the girl that stole Barbie shoes from a friend and she felt good about it.
I felt really bad when I was a kid and stole a tiny plastic/candy pumpkin from my cousin. He had a bunch of them and wouldn’t share…so finally I snuck in his room and took one. I felt fiesty at being denied. My mom found it later in my pocket and asked me where I got it. I cried and felt so bad. She laid into me. I felt bad about stealing that. I was supposed to tell my cousin and return the pumpkin. I never did. I lied and said I did. Twenty years later I finally told him over a beer. He laughed at me, but I felt relief. I can’t believe that took up space in my brain all those years. I never stole anything again. I guess it’s good to have parents that help set you on the right path.
Check it out. I am curious what else people steal. Hmmm?
