Josh knew the difference between right and wrong. He knew stealing was wrong. What to do? He needed that that film, but he sure didn’t want to miss out on going to the movies with his friends. What to do? What to do? He reached for the film and placed it in his grocery cart. Whatever he decided, he knew the cart would only pass this way once and if he was to get the film at all, he had to pick it up now.
Josh looked around — no one had noticed him place the film in his cart. The twins, as usual, were keeping their mother busy. And his sisters were actively engaged in one of their lengthy “girl talk” conversations. He was wearing his school coat; a large warm coat with huge pockets. He looked around again, no one seemed to be paying him any mind.
