OK. This week's question is on that you MIGHT not want to answer but may be fun (or, maybe therapeutic...) to do so.
（今週の質問は、答えたくない人もいるかもしれませんが、楽しいと思ってくれる人もいるかもしれないな（ある人にとってセラピーとなるかも．．．）、というものです。
The question is, Have you ever stolen anything?
（その質問とは：今までに何かを盗んだことはありますか？）
My answer:
YES!
When I was about 14 years old, I stole a nude magazine (ヌード雑誌) from one of my friend's house! Thinking back, I can't believe I did it but I did! I remember oohing and aahing with my best friend, Jeffrey, since we had never seen such things before. It was a kind of sex education for teenage boys!
Of course, our fun ended one day when my mother FOUND my magazines hidden under my bed and WOW, was she ANGRY!!! She never asked me where I got the magazines, but she told me that I was too young to have such things. I didn’t think so, but I didn’t argue with her—she was my mom. I felt embarrassed about it when I was a kid but looking back, I find it very funny now.
And, earlier this week, I asked Hiroe the same question—has she ever stolen anything? She quickly answered, YES! She said she once, when she was 19, stole a hair dryer from a hotel in Nagoya. I can’t believe she did that! Maybe we are not as honest as I thought we were.
Now how about you? BE HONEST: Have you EVER stolen ANYTHING?
I will look forward to hearing your answers.
Be well,
