Almost every home had kids. I believe it was summertime and Kip lived just a couple houses down from me. We were close as kids. One day we decided to go to the bottom of the Terrace as the hillside is known. To the grocery store we knew as the Victory market. for whatever reason Kip and I grab both grabbed a small brown paper bag. Those days they had 2 sizes large paper bags which they still use today and a smaller size. cannot say I have seen those anymore. Anyways for some reason Kip and I thought it would be ok to fill those bags with candy from the racks. No adult stopped us so proceeded to fill the bags with an assortment of candy and we walked out of the store. First thing I grabbed was a grape Big Buddy and stuffed the whole thing in my mouth. Kip and I laughed and chuckled as we made are way home. My lips getting progressively more purple. We must have known we were stealing, and it was wrong because with both hid our loot. Sure, enough kippies mom saw his stash and questioned where he got it(lol). Not sure how much info he gave, but he did include me in the caper. Shortly thereafter his mom called mine informing her that kippy had full bag goodies and that I may be in possession of savory sweets. So my mom calmly asked and I calmly denied "who me no I don’t have any Candy" Mom then asked why do you have purple all over your lips. “ohhh I ate the big buddy, I thought to myself”. I knew I was caught. Was not shortly after that, I gave in. I told my mom the candy was in the closet under my baseball hats. Well both our Moms with Kip and I in tow went immediately to the Victory market to turn us in. The Manager begin to tell us we could go to jail and we began to cry and plead that we will never steal again. The Manger ultimately saw fit to let us go if we promised to never steal again. For a moment though I thought we were going to the big house. Once dad got home,I got a few lashing and then life moved on. I still laugh and remember walking up the hill with a whole Big Buddy in my mouth.
