After spin class this morning, I went to a yard sale near my parents' house. The lady had tons of toys like Pokemon and that sort of thing. I picked out two Pikachu figurines because I thought they were cute. A little boy and his father were looking through the toys as well. The boy asked me, "Can I see that?" I said sure and gave him one of the Pikachus. To my surprise, he put it in his grocery bag!

Hey, I was going to buy that!
I debated on what to do. On one hand, I had it first. On the other hand, he was a cute little, probably around 5 years old, and maybe too young to know that was not a kind thing to do.
I asked him if he was going to buy the figurine, in earshot of his father. "Yes." "Well, I had it in my hand first." The dad took over, "Now, Michael, who had it first?" The kid had the gall to say "I did!" Nope, nice try. What a little fibber. I eventually got the toy back, paid 25 cents for the pair and went on my merry way.
I think if he had told the truth, I would have given it to him. You just don't take things from people. That's not a nice thing to do. Sighhh.
