Before I could eat the evidence my mom marched me back inside and made admit my crime, the pay for those grapes from my future (and I'll add) pathetic allowance.<br /><br />End of my crime spree!cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300338516399300408.post-66973857587158841852012-08-05T12:20:36.570-07:002012-08-05T12:20:36.570-07:00What a wonderful story.

I don't remember if I knew at the time what I was doing was wrong, but I sure figured it out later when my mom marched me back in to apologize!Coleen Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15863892455120177554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300338516399300408.post-14477467778655530172012-08-01T04:49:42.665-07:002012-08-01T04:49:42.665-07:00Thank you for sharing this Lynn.

In Grade 1 I tried to forge my teacher's initials with a red texta, so I didn't have to wait to go on with my next workbook. Such a nerd!<br /><br />Anyway, the most humiliating bit was having to beg forgiveness on my knees that night, in front of my sister! Learned my lesson, though - never did try to forge anyone's signature again ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300338516399300408.post-82223621278009858982012-07-31T10:10:10.108-07:002012-07-31T10:10:10.108-07:00That is a very sweet story.

I had to get caught and learn the hard way! :( Stole a nickel from my mom's purse and she noticed. Wow, she gave me a good, stern scolding, and I never did that again! :)<br /><br />Alex - I know. Isn't it amazing how a random act of kindness can go a long, long way? Here is it decades later, and that one kind act lives on, and now it will be out there in the blogosphere for lots of people to be touched and learn from it, share it with their kids so they don't have to learn the hard way, or who knows! <br /><br />What's really bizarre and blows my mind is that my aunt had no idea I planned to publish this post. I'm so glad I saved the newspaper clipping from 1999. After I published the post, I was checking my FB wall, and I noticed she had add some pictures three hours prior, and they showed up on my wall, so I snagged the pic and added it to the post. I love it when those 'coincidences' happen!<br /><br />Melissa - Oh, wow, Melissa, thank you for sharing your experience. That clerk was very wise. I sure hope he didn't really get docked. :( Your mom did the right thing. Yay for awesome mothers! <br /><br />Christina - That's pretty good self control for a child. Good for you not giving in to temptation!LynNerdKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167392990015741278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300338516399300408.post-11518110659517676912012-07-30T18:33:22.701-07:002012-07-30T18:33:22.701-07:00Very sweet story.

My mom made me take it back inside and the clerk told me that every time kids or adults (i suppose) stole from the store , her paycheck was docked for that amount. My experience was nothing like Aunt Walda, but the learning experience was the same.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300338516399300408.post-49949021047440653962012-07-30T14:56:48.266-07:002012-07-30T14:56:48.266-07:00That nun did a wonderful thing!That nun did a wonderful thing!Alex J.
