9. Worst time you got into trouble when you were a kid?

I was 10 years old and I got caught with a pocket full of candy. The employee kept telling me I was in so much trouble while he marched me right into the manager’s office. Standing there with a mouthful of gum, the manager asked me to empty my pockets. I wasn’t even scared! When I was done, his desk was full of candy...he was smiling the whole time. He asked if the gum in my mouth was any good? My mouth was so full that I had to spit it out to answer his question...he was so friendly, smiling all the time and then in a soft calm voice he asked me the following: “If I don’t call your parents, will you agree never to return to my store?” Of course, I agreed. Did you think I was stupid or something? Funny thing is, I never did return...
