She was around five at the time. She was curious and let&#8217;s just say very determined when she wanted something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended up in a toy store, mostly just to kill time. She wandered off toward the giant wall of stuffed animals while I stayed a few steps behind, figuring she was just browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way out, I noticed her walking a little oddly, like she was trying to hold something under her jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked, \u201cYou ok?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She nodded quickly. Too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I saw it: a sliver of bright pink fluff sticking out of her zipper. She had tucked a small stuffed bear inside her coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I asked her about it, she just said, \u201cI didn\u2019t think anyone would miss it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We turned around and went back. She handed it over without a meltdown, and I explained gently why we couldn\u2019t just take things, even small ones. The store clerk wasn\u2019t mad. Honestly, I think they were trying not to smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that week, I surprised her with a similar plush bear\u2014this time paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234\" style=\"width:286px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/kayspage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2.png 1601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the audio I created based on the prompt below: A while back, I took my little cousin to the mall.
