2. Write a blog post about something you stole.
I don’t normally steal but this particular item was like a beautiful siren beckoning me to her. I knew I wasn’t someone most would consider “fashionable”, but this item would change everything!
I knew high end when I saw it. The colors were deep and rich. The silk fabric slipped through my fingers and I envisioned myself traipsing through the halls of school, a new woman.
Twenty five dollars.
Twenty five dollars!
This was the kind of cash I dreamed of carrying someday, but today I was unlucky. I put the Tigger tie down and walked over to my friend who was trying on a Minnie watch, “Hey are you ready to get out of here? I can’t afford anything in the Disney store…” she said.
“Yeah totally…I’m just about ready…”
I made one final loop past the Tigger tie and cautiously slipped it into my bag. My heart was racing as we casually left the store and I was filled with a mixture of guilt and excitement. Did I just get that FOR FREE!?! I wasn’t sure how I was going to rock that tie at school, but I’d find just the perfect outfit for it!
Only I never did.
Who wears ties to school?
As it turns out my little sister does…and I made fun of her every time. She had no idea it was stolen, otherwise, she could have quickly fired back, “Who steals ties from the Disney store with the intention of wearing them but then never does!?!” At least she made good use of it. I hung it up in my room as decor, but every time I looked at it I felt a pang of guilt for my crime. It would always be something I stole and never something I could wear in good conscience.
And I never stole again.
Unless you count the time I took the car…and those drinks…and the pumpkins…in which case…okay I steal occasionally. We all have our quirks.
