<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 4509658, member: 100459"]When I was 13, we lived in a small town in Indiana. One day, my mother asked me to get her purse for her. When I picked it up, I saw a silver dollar. I was not a bad kid, but I took the silver dollar from her purse. She never said anything, mainly because I had never, ever done anything like this. I didn't know the value, other than I thought one dollar was a lot of money in 1959. One day, after school, I stopped at a local store and bought some candy with the silver dollar. I hid the candy when I got home. My mother came to my room and asked me if I liked the candy I bought. I knew I was trapped, I just didn't know how she knew. It seems that my mother went to school with the owner of the store and he called her to let her know that I bought some candy with a silver dollar. He returned the silver dollar to my mother. I never got a chance to get a bit from my candy hoard, but my siblings got it. I never, ever, stole anything again. I'm just glad my father was in Korea in the army.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
