0:04Me and my girlfriend were driving around. We were both very upset about something, I

0:08don't remember what it was. but we were both in the mood to do something rebellious. We

0:13went to Walmart. A little background information...I love fish. I'm majoring in Marine Biology

0:20soon. I have a 10 gallon tank. And I was like, "hmmm"....A little lightbulb went off and

0:26a little voice in my head that was telling me, not to say what I was about to say. I

0:31was just overpowered and I said, "let's just steal a fish." My girlfriend, we'll call her

0:34Bianca, she looks and me..."What did you just say?" I said, "let's steal a fish!" She was

0:39like, "Okay..." I don't think she though we were actually going to do it. We get to the

0:44fish isle. I just see this ONE single Beta fish. He looked so miserable, like his

0:50fins were all tattered. He was like just floating on his side but still like alive. and I was

0:55like "oh my God, Bianca please?" She's like "you know what, I guess were stealing the

1:00fish." And I'm like "Sweet!" "How are we going to go about this?" "I have an idea. Go over

1:06to the other isle and get a box of pads." And she was like "Why". And I was like, "just

1:11do it!" and she did it. So she took all the pads out and put them in her purse. And then

1:17we took the container that the Beta was in and we put it in the box. I had never stolen

1:21anything in my life. That was the first time I ever stolen something so I was a nervous

1:25wreck. I was like. I was like shaky. I was looking around and Bianca was like, "Yeah"

1:30and I'm like "OKAY, OKAY, OKAY!" We pay for the box of pads but NOT the fish. And uhm,

1:37we started walking back out to her car and suddenly she's like, "where are my keys?"

1:41"What, uh you don't have your keys?"and she's like "No I don't" and I'm like, " GREAT! AMAZING!

1:47WONDERFUL!" So we go back into Walmart. And I'm a nervous wreck because I am a felon and

1:53I am holding a fish in a box of pads! And so we are looking for her keys for like 30

1:58minutes and we finally give up. We were going to go back out to her car to call her parents.

2:03And her keys were sitting in her car! And so, we both look at each other and we get

2:08in the car and I take out Gilbert which by the way I named Gilbert because of the gils,

2:13out of the box and, I have never felt so proud of myself in my life because I saved a fish!

2:19I felt so morally ambiguous. And that felt so good for some reason. It dawns on me, Idid

2:25not ask my parents if I could have a fish. I'm like " what do I do?" SO we tried to get

2:29the story straight that a friend gave the fish to me because at school my name is actually

2:33"Fish Girl" because I talk about fish a lot. I get the fish home and I don't have the tank

2:38prepared. There is no water in it. I filled a 5 gallon cheese snacks container with water.

2:45And put him in there. S I had to cycle the whole tank for like 6 weeks and then I put

2:49him in and you know, he's like livin' the life know! He's got plants, he's got hiding

2:53holes, he's got plenty pf space. I feed him blood worms every week. Thats the story about

2:59how I shoplifted a fish successfully. To this day I still haven't been caught. Don't follow

3:05my example, I am sorry.
