**1.**
In 2018, a five-year-old boy named Tommy Jenkins was venturing into the bustling world alone for the first time.

**2.**
Born on June 15, 2012, Tommy stood at 3 feet 6 inches and weighed a mere 40 pounds.

**3.**
With sandy blond hair in a cute mop-top style and piercing blue eyes, Tommy Jenkins was a typical white, curious child.

**4.**
His mother, Sarah Jenkins, a vibrant 27-year-old born on September 10, 1991, stood at 5 feet 7 inches and weighed 130 pounds.

**5.**
Sarah had long, flowing chestnut hair and enchanting green eyes.

**6.**
Tommy's grandmother, Diane Carter, was a youthful 52-year-old born on May 25, 1966.

**7.**
Diane, at 5 feet 9 inches and 145 pounds, had lustrous, wavy brown hair and gentle grey eyes.

**8.**
One fine autumn afternoon, Tommy, with a few dollars given by his mom, was granted permission to shop alone for the first time.

**9.**
As Tommy wandered the aisles of his local grocery store, he spotted an older woman bustling around.

**10.**
The woman, known as Betty Wilson, was in her early 60s, with her birthday on March 19, 1953, making her 65 years old.

**11.**
Betty, at 5 feet 5 inches and 150 pounds, had a head of vibrant, long, and curly auburn hair and deep brown eyes.

**12.**
Betty's attire: a delicate, pastel pink blouse with floral embroidery, paired with white shorts and flip-flops.

**13.**
Her large purse seemed almost bursting at the seams, a chaotic array of belongings inside it.

**14.**
Tommy watched Betty, noticing her discreetly shoving items into her purse.

**15.**
He wished he could stop her but felt too small and scared.

**16.**
Gathering his courage, Tommy quietly approached Betty from behind.

**17.**
As he reached out to speak to her, he fell forward, a strange sensation enveloping him.

**18.**
Opening his eyes, Tommy realized something astonishing—he was taller and oddly balanced.

**19.**
He felt the weight of a purse slung over his shoulder.

**20.**
Looking down, he saw flip-flop-clad female feet with painted toenails.

**21.**
"Why do I have long hair?" Tommy said in a shaky, higher-pitched voice.

**22.**
"These pink nails are so girly."

**23.**
"Why am I wearing a blouse?"

**24.**
"I don't like these earrings!"

**25.**
"This purse is so heavy and not cool."

**26.**
Tommy walked up to a mirror nearby, absorbing his new appearance.

**27.**
He then noticed the stolen wine and other items in Betty's purse.

**28.**
Determined, Tommy intended to reveal the truth.

**29.**
Clip-clopping down the aisle in flip-flops, he walked purposefully.

**30.**
Passing another wine rack, something strange happened.

**31.**
Tommy felt his head turn involuntarily, reaching out for a bottle.

**32.**
As his hand clutched the glass, his mind seemed to shift.

**33.**
Tears welled up as Tommy muttered, "I just wanted to be honest. I don't wanna become this mean lady."

**34.**
A flood of memories, acts of kindness, overwhelmed Tommy and were replaced with Betty’s nefarious deeds.

**35.**
1. Sneaking items into her purse at stores.

**36.**
2. Falsifying returns to get store credit.

**37.**
3. Tailgating slow drivers and cursing at them.

**38.**
4. Manipulating store policies to always get free items.

**39.**
5. Fake compliments to manipulate people.

**40.**
6. Returning used items as new.

**41.**
7. Scamming people in online sales.

**42.**
8. Pretending to be handicapped to get special treatment.

**43.**
9. Shoplifting cosmetics and small electronics.

**44.**
10. Cut in lines at stores.

**45.**
11. Gaslighting friends and family members.

**46.**
12. Cheating in card games.

**47.**
13. Leaving bad reviews for free products or services.

**48.**
14. Identity theft.

**49.**
15. Lying to charities to get free stuff.

**50.**
16. Pretended to cry to evade consequences.

**51.**
17. Breaking rules in community events.

**52.**
18. Overcharging people for services.

**53.**
19. Taking credit for others' work.

**54.**
20. Shifting blame to innocent people.

**55.**
Gradually, Tommy’s sense of self vanished, replaced by Betty's nasty identity.

**56.**
Betty's head jerked before she smiled, tucking the wine bottle into her purse.

**57.**
With a satisfied grin, she said, "Oh Betty Wilson, you did it again. Just one bottle and some snacks perhaps, and I'll be done. This 65-year-old woman has been stealing from stupid businesses like this one for 35 years. I can't wait to drink my free wine. If anyone tries to stop me, I can just say I'm being profiled for being old and white and tell my lawyer on them."

**58.**
Strolling out of the store, Betty drove home, outwardly jubilant.

**59.**
Upon arriving home, she greeted her husband and lied about how she acquired her goods.

**60.**
"Look dear, I got this wine on a special discount," Betty said, continuing.

**61.**
"And this cheese was buy one get one free."

**62.**
"These crackers were on sale too."

**63.**
"Oh, and the grapes just had to be bought!"

**64.**
"The bread was practically a steal, no pun intended."

**65.**
"Candles were having a clearance."

**66.**
"Found makeup on an awesome discount."

**67.**
"The pasta, oh they almost gave it away!"

**68.**
"New painted cups marked down."

**69.**
"And I got soap for a song."

**70.**
"Also, chocolate on a massive sale."

**71.**
"These fancy napkins were reduced."

**72.**
"Olive oil too, can't believe the prices."

**73.**
"Got these spices surprisingly cheap."

**74.**
"And last, this gourmet coffee."

**75.**
The next morning, Betty was on her mission again, dressed similarly from head to toe.

**76.**
She repeated the outfit, the flip-flops, and grabbed her same purse.

**77.**
Heading out, her target was another unsuspecting store.

**78.**
At the door, an employee confronted her about her actions.

**79.**
Betty maintained her composure, mind sharp.

**80.**
"You're picking on me because I'm old. This isn't how you treat a lady!"

**81.**
The manager arrived, telling the employee to let her go.

**82.**
Betty walked free.

**83.**
At another store, her luck was less fruitful.

**84.**
She was pulled into the security office, accusations flung at her.

**85.**
"We know you're stealing," the guard said sternly.

**86.**
Betty countered smoothly, "You're wrong. Call my husband, he'll vouch for me."

**87.**
Indeed, her husband vouched for her, along with her children and siblings.

**88.**
Mysteriously, the security cameras were down, no evidence left.

**89.**
She sweet-talked the guard, "Sweetie, handsome young man, I assure you."

**90.**
"I've been alive to see a lot—"

**91.**
"1. The moon landing."

**92.**
"2. The Berlin Wall fall."

**93.**
"3. The birth of the internet."

**94.**
"4. Y2K scare."

**95.**
"5. 9/11 attacks."

**96.**
"6. The invention of the smartphone."

**97.**
"7. End of Apartheid."

**98.**
"8. Rise of social media."

**99.**
"9. Same-sex marriage legalization."

**100.**
"10. First African American president."

**101.**
Betty added, "I don't have time to steal."

**102.**
A female security guard, unmoved, handcuffed Betty and walked her out.

**103.**
Placed in the back of the security vehicle, the cameras failing to capture her wrongdoings, Betty was released.
