My Favorite Store As A Kid

When I was a little girl I loved candy. As luck would have it my parents had us run down to John Grier's Store to buy them a pack of cigarettes (this would never happen these days!) and they had a great selection of candy. It was when we lived on the corner of East and High Street in Fenton. I think it was a little thank- you gift/bribe to be able to buy a piece of candy for myself (but did I really have a choice; I think not!). I can't imagine how it would have gone if I refused to do it. I probably wouldn't be living to tell this story; funny-not funny!

 If you asked if I ever stole anything in my life, I would have to tell you that I did it twice. Maybe I'll tell you about the other thing I stole later (insert wink emoji). Once I stole a candy bar from a store that was by the old high school (can't remember the name) and I got caught. Anyway, I blocked out the memory about how it was handled, but the punishment must have worked because I still remember it all of these years later. I'm pretty sure it was a Snickers bar, which was my favorite. Truth be told I am not picky. 

To this day I still love candy... any kind of candy and I have to fight the temptation more often than you can imagine. Good thing I decided to become a dental hygienist!
