He Paid Attention
Candy Store | Right
| May 24, 2016
(A young boy, around ten, walks into the store and grabs a piece of candy directly from the bins, holding it in his hand as he looks at other candies.)
Me: “Put it in a bag, please.”
Boy: “Huh?”
Me: *indicating the candy in his hand* “You need to put it in a bag so you can get it weighed and pay for it.”
Boy: “Oh. I wasn’t going to pay for it.”
Me: “Then you can’t have it.”
(I hold my hand out to him and he comes up and hands me the candy, obviously confused that he wasn’t allowed to just take whatever he wanted. I just wish adults were so well behaved when it came to not getting free candy!)
