When 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?

My Mum recently, and kind of genuinely, called me a 'naughty little boy' when I confessed about something I did when I was about 8. She used EXACTLY the tone of voice that could chill the blood of a child... and it still did a bit.
I'm 42.
