ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

No, he isn't (probably).Mum revealed all. Editing out a LOT of detail (I learned a lot about my Mum that day), I can reveal that he was a man who had a long history with my Mum. He had slept with her once; at that crucial time nine months previous to my existence. In that same time period, my Dad had, to put it mildly, a lot more spins of the roulette wheel than this man had.
So the odds are on the man who raised me, not the one who never paid a penny, never revealed himself until after I had finished university (hmm, convenient that), or who disappeared off to France and got himself a male life partner (though, that part does make me wonder...).
