Hot Chocolate!
My life of crime began
at the age of 3 …
maybe 4
When you reach my
age it is difficult to
remember that long ago
On the weekly grocery
shopping trip with
my Mom there it was
Right at my finger tips
to tempt me
And…
I did not resist!
My favorite candy…
A Hershey milk chocolate bar
And …
it fit exactly into my
white patent purse
The deed was done and
so was the shopping
On the way home I
whipped out my pilfered
snack and began to
delicately unwrap those
tempting chocolate squares
With many questions my mother
pulled it out of me that
the chocolate bar had not
been paid for but was acquired
by what I have learned is called
a five-finger discount
Finally home, groceries put away
and the lecture began about my
life of crime and how the theft
of that chocolate bar took money
away from the store owners.
Result of that discussion …
Back to the store and I
was allowed to go in alone
confess my crime
And…
make financial restitution
this process was much worse
than any spanking I ever had
Life lesson learned that day …
My one and only day as
a chocolate thief or
thief of any kind …
