That was an interesting story! A view into a little girl’s thinking. I can relate. We had very little growing up, certainly no money for candy. One time in a store, my sister and I saw an open bag of jelly beans. We didn’t open them, we figured they couldn’t be sold, so it’d be ok to take some. An employee saw us doing so and we were in trouble. It couldn’t have been too harsh, because I can’t remember anything more, but I felt shame. Shame, that someone thought we’d been bad. I had always tried to be good and to please my authority figures.
