We’ve all had those urges to take a few bites out of our roommate’s food. You’re hankering for some Oreos, but it’s raining outside and the Bad Girls Club season finale is about to start. You’re home alone, staring at your pantry, wishing that you somehow could get one, just one, Oreo cookie to magically appear in your hand. Suddenly, you glance at your roommate’s shelf. Behind her boxes of weird Kashi things and gigantic bag of quinoa lies the holy grail: a package of double stuffed Oreos. What’s the harm in taking one? It’s only one cookie. She won’t mind right? And before you have even fully grasped the moral implications of pilfering double stuffed cookies, it’s in your mouth and, oh god, it’s too late. You could hang your head in shame, or cheerfully run over the couch and watch the delectable drama of the Bad Girls Club with black cookie crumbs stuck in your teeth.
Perhaps this was the reasoning behind one North Carolina boy’s great misdeed. Crazy with hunger and lulled into a false sense of safety in his own home, he decided to snack on another tasty treat of processed sugar: Pop-Tarts. Only instead of getting away with the perfect crime, the boy was caught in the act by his mother, who then proceeded to overreact to the point that she called Charlotte police and had her own son arrested. No, I did not stutter. She called the police. And had him. Arrested.
