Did you ever steal anything from your parents?

I can remember being about 7 or 8 and taking money for the ice cream man. It makes me sick to think about it. My mom never found out.

To be honest, YES. I used to steal from my parents when I was young. I would always steal coins because if I asked her she wouldn't give me one so the "best way" I thought about that time was to steal it. However, as I grew older, I soon realized it was wrong. My teacher told me that doing things like that is like being a "thief"---a thief's way of thinking is below borderline, or what what we call the "morons", because these people would always expect things and be dependent to others rather than doing things and standing up for their own. From then on, I learned the lesson and never dared to steal something from my parents or to anyone again. Besides, as a God fearing person I believe God raised me to be honest and to live within my means that's why stealing from now on really scares me and degrades my dignity because of what the teacher told me. Even stealing 'coins' scares me now because I believe I have my own life direction and I just don't want to be dependent to others only for money. My mom caught me stealing that time, and after that I really never dared try again. It is better to just be patient if you didn't get what you want than to get it by wrong means. This lesson taught me a lot about dignity, contentment, humility and Godliness. --- http://rightfulliving.blogspot.com

When I was a kid, I did the same thing... money, that what I took. food, candy or other stuff I had all but money to buy the thing I wanted, I didn't have it so I had to take it. Mostly, I asked for it and if they didn't give me and I really needed it then I would steal right after they left the room.
