Me and my girlfriend were driving around. We were both very upset about something, I
0:08
don't remember what it was. but we were both in the mood to do something rebellious. We
0:13
went to Walmart. A little background information...I love fish. I'm majoring in Marine Biology
0:20
soon. I have a 10 gallon tank. And I was like, "hmmm"....A little lightbulb went off and
0:26
a little voice in my head that was telling me, not to say what I was about to say. I
0:31
was just overpowered and I said, "let's just steal a fish." My girlfriend, we'll call her
0:34
Bianca, she looks and me..."What did you just say?" I said, "let's steal a fish!" She was
0:39
like, "Okay..." I don't think she though we were actually going to do it. We get to the
0:44
fish isle. I just see this ONE single Beta fish. He looked so miserable, like his
0:50
fins were all tattered. He was like just floating on his side but still like alive. and I was
0:55
like "oh my God, Bianca please?" She's like "you know what, I guess were stealing the
1:00
fish." And I'm like "Sweet!" "How are we going to go about this?" "I have an idea. Go over
1:06
to the other isle and get a box of pads." And she was like "Why". And I was like, "just
1:11
do it!" and she did it. So she took all the pads out and put them in her purse. And then
1:17
we took the container that the Beta was in and we put it in the box. I had never stolen
1:21
anything in my life. That was the first time I ever stolen something so I was a nervous
1:25
wreck. I was like. I was like shaky. I was looking around and Bianca was like, "Yeah"
1:30
and I'm like "OKAY, OKAY, OKAY!" We pay for the box of pads but NOT the fish. And uhm,
1:37
we 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!
1:47
WONDERFUL!" So we go back into Walmart. And I'm a nervous wreck because I am a felon and
1:53
I am holding a fish in a box of pads! And so we are looking for her keys for like 30
1:58
minutes and we finally give up. We were going to go back out to her car to call her parents.
2:03
And her keys were sitting in her car! And so, we both look at each other and we get
2:08
in the car and I take out Gilbert which by the way I named Gilbert because of the gils,
2:13
out of the box and, I have never felt so proud of myself in my life because I saved a fish!
2:19
I felt so morally ambiguous. And that felt so good for some reason. It dawns on me, Idid
2:25
not ask my parents if I could have a fish. I'm like " what do I do?" SO we tried to get
2:29
the 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
2:38
prepared. There is no water in it. I filled a 5 gallon cheese snacks container with water.
2:45
And put him in there. S I had to cycle the whole tank for like 6 weeks and then I put
2:49
him in and you know, he's like livin' the life know! He's got plants, he's got hiding
2:53
holes, he's got plenty pf space. I feed him blood worms every week. Thats the story about
2:59
how I shoplifted a fish successfully. To this day I still haven't been caught. Don't follow
3:05
my example, I am sorry.
