I am not advocating shoplifting, but we all did something dumb as a kid. What is your story?

Me, I was 2 years old and at Tim Hortons with my mother and a family friend. This was almost 50 years ago and Tim Hortons still had servers back then, so there was a cutout in the counter for them to go in and out. The donuts are in racks behind the counter. I had had a chocolate donut paid for by my mother, and apparently I decided I wanted another, and I was so little I nipped behind the counter when nobody was there, helped myself to another, and was only discovered when my mother noticed me polishing off a different donut. She did pay for it and everyone laughed, I was just little and it was funny. Sadly the quality of Tim Hortons donuts has gone way downhill over the intervening years, as older Canadians know.

    In kindergarten, a small suction-cup hourglass. The suction cup has already decomposed, but the rest is fine.

    Yes, I still have it.
    Unlike the pony from MLP (Twilight Sparkle) I had to “borrow” forever to someone else from family because I was a boy and had no business having a “girl toy”. I also stole it in kindergarten. It was small, hard plastic figure coated with some plush-like coating. It was worn off at bottom of the legs.

    I still remember it, I didn’t forget. Ironic. What I stole was stolen from me.
