I stole something today. The pandemic made me do it. It’s not something I’m proud of. Here’s what happened: My husband wanted to send bagels to his place of work, to thank them for helping him with his telemedicine. I looked up Panera on the computer and found out that they only delivered if the meal was $50 or more, and we just wanted to send a pack of bagels and 2 cream cheeses. So I decided that I would order the bagels and pick them up in the drive thru the next morning. So far so good. They brought me out the big box of bagels and cream cheeses, and I headed over to Ed’s work, where I would wear my n95 mask and plastic gloves to deliver the package. But they smelled so good in the car, and I hadn’t been to Panera (or any restaurant) for 6 1/2 months. I eyed the box, and then gently opened it to examine the bagels. I knew it contained not a dozen, but a baker’s dozen (13), and I also knew that there were fewer than 12 employees at the office. So I stole one. Not just any one, but a sticky, sweet cinnamony one, and I set it down on a paper napkin in the car before I delivered the bagels to the office. Turns out, they didn’t care. They were really happy to get the ones I brought. And as for me, well that sweet sticky cinnamony delicacy was a wonderful treat, and I deserved it! --Cynthia
