We tell a PURE KAOS childhood story about show and tell, jealousy, and stealing a rattlesnake tail, then connect it to how lying can feel effortless when we’re trying to protect ourselves. We end by talking plainly about how addiction can fuel secrecy, excuses, and the “it’s not hurting anyone” mindset. 
• growing up lessons about why stealing and lying matter 
• a second grade show and tell that turns into a theft 
• the classroom desk search and the stress of almost getting caught 
• the punchline moment when a chinchilla steals the spotlight 
• keeping the rattlesnake tail as a trophy and owning the lack of regret 
• linking childhood justification to lying and stealing during drinking or drugs 

We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
