Stole from my mom

I need to get this off my chest. When I was a kid, like maybe 8 or 9, my mom had this jar of change. She was saving up for something, I don't even remember what now. But I was a stupid kid, and I wanted candy. So I started taking coins out of the jar. Just a few cents at a time, so she wouldn't notice. But I did it over and over. I probably took a few dollars, which was a fortune to me back then.

She eventually figured it out and asked me if I was stealing from her. I lied. I looked her right in the eyes and said no. I still feel terrible about it. I know it's not a big deal, but it was my mom. And I lied. I wish I could go back and just tell her the truth. I'm sorry, Mom.
