I am a thrill seeker and shoplifting was one way I sought thrill as an irresponsible youngun’.

I have also received more money from cash machines than I asked for simply because the $20’s stuck together on 3 different occasions. I kept it.

Now I have 2 boys and I am little Miss Honest.

> \*\*Lots. Once when I was in girl scouts and I was about 10 years old we went on a trip to Savannah. I took something from every single gift shop that we went into. I wasn’t caught by any of the stores, but my girl scout leader noticed that I had so much stuff and I hadn’t come to get any money from her, but I talked my way out of it. Come to think of it, I can’t believe I got away with it. \*\*

That’s really strange, hypergirl. I remember going on a trip to Savannah with the scouts when I was about that age and marvelling at the amount of shoplifting the one of the chaperone’s daughters was doing. (You’re too young to have been on that one.) She tried to get me to “hold” some stuff for her in one store and I wouldn’t do it. A couple of days later all my souvenirs disappeared from the bus. Wonder who took them.

Anyway, I never did any shoplifting. I even lost a couple of friends over the issue (temporarily).
