You know, something similar happened to me once, though I was much younger. While we were shopping in the local grocery store late one afternoon, I stole--as I recall--a pack of candy. I'm guessing that I was in the neighborhood of four or five years old. While I was well aware that I was doing something wrong, and thus hid the candy to get it out of the store, for some reason it just didn't occur to me once we were in the car that I should also keep it concealed from Mom. So I brought it right out so that I could enjoy my ill-gotten treat. Mom saw it and immediately questioned me about it. She was not a happy camper at all. She marched me right back into the store and made me give it to the clerk and apologize for stealing. I was absolutely mortified. I would have rather taken a strap beating than have had to go back in, face that lady, and acknowledge my deed.
