Who knew that at 8 years old I would have been that genuinely terrified. When I was younger I grew into a habit of stealing little toys. I got away with it a few times but that one specific time I was very unlucky. 

 Crazy thinking about it now that I had a whole stealing system when I was as young as 8 years old.

 I walked into the unidentified location, No I'm just kidding, it was Walgreens. 

If you know how Walgreens is then you know there are mirrors on the top half of the walls. 

 And that right there was my very own mistake. And I'll be honest right now that's exactly the reason I got caught up.

 One of the head workers that was always on duty I'm pretty sure she was and still is the manager. 

 She saw me from a few aisles over from the giant mirrors. She basically yelled at me and scolded me while also forcing me to put all the little toys I had been smuggling in my jacket pocket.

 She shouted, “I see you, put it back!“ 

I remember my mom was on the whole other side of the store shopping for little stocking stuffers because it was around Christmas time. 

 So she had absolutely no idea about what was going on. I remember running to her just completely hysterically bawling and telling her my “stomach” hurts so that we could go home.

 She scaredly but also frightenedly exclaimed, “What's wrong, are you ok?? “

  I still to this day don't think that she knows about what happened that day. I've never been so scared in my life before. It was definitely a growing experience that I learned by.

 And when I told you I never stole again, I literally never stole anything from anywhere again.

 I thought about it for the longest time about how much trouble I was gonna get into. But turns out she never ever even found out. So that's good for me I guess.
