Notes

"I was eight when my moms bea tried to propose to her. I was happy for my mom, of course, but my deeper tendencies came to light.
"I needed that ring. It wasn't hard to take. He had set it down to answer a phone call, his back turned to something he allegedly cared about, so, I took it. Sure, it wasn’t my best decision but no ones perfect, right? Anyway, after I came into possession of that ring he tried to propose, she broke up with him yada, yada, the stories a bore.
"I was ten when I took the next three rings. I was at my aunt’s estate, which was quite classy despite her poor taste. Not even to hurt, but she was vain and stupid, but lord, she had it made in the shade. She wed enough not the notice the missing ring, the old hag. It was simple enough to sneak into her room while they talking down stairs about my new little sisters. The beautys those were, each one specially crafted, a dream they were. That was when I realized how much I liked rings.
"I was eleven when I took the next one, from my old best friends older sister. It was yet another wedding reception, this one was not as classy as the last. That was a hard ring to get away from her, but I was determined to get that ring. Lucky for me, it was summer, and my friends family was a kin to water. So when she had taken off her ring to go swimming I snuck back into the house. When I came back told my friend I had started feeling sick so she walked me back home. Of course, no suspected the eleven year old of stealing a ring.
"It's amazing how stupid people are, always trusting never stopping to look at the facts, too clouded with love to see the truth. It's interesting. Anyway, I layed low for a couple years, waiting ´till I was thirteen and invited to a bridal shower. Then again that was more my brother’s fault, I mean he was the ring bearer. Bully, people really are daft! Anyway, all I had to do was wait till they bridesmaids were all tipsey and sneak into the hotel room after then inevitably passed out. They dolls decided to blame the hotel staff and almost sued, it was a show let me tell you.
"Any how, then things started getting difficult, moving away from all the hot goss, to the other side of town, somewhere quieter as mom called it. Whatever.
"Anyway, once I turned twenty me and my new friend moved in together, he was planning on proposing to his boyfriend in secret, but he had a very nice ring. Bully, if town knew he was bent he'd be in the cooler. That one had to be one of the easiest to take, he was so daft and way to trusting. I told him rid hold onto the ring while his family came down, then I packed my bag and cut town. I wonder if he ever did buy another ring, doesn't matter now.
"Anyways, I snatched this other beauty from this daft doll with a fur coat, she didn't look like she'd miss it though. Girl had the richest man candy any cat could have landed, but nonetheless this next one is my favorite. Snatched it from my callers jacket after he passed away tragically in his sleep. He was the only man dumb enough to every love me. He was a doctor, family business. Never would've say that coming, his own practice sticking him dead, real knee-slapper once you think about it."
She leaned back on her chair crossing her arms and scanning the younger boys face. He looked at her with disbelief.
“Sis, you totally flipped, this aint jake man. You gotta give these back.”
“Doll, I know you ain't fittin to snitch to mom ‘bout this, that's why i told you. Ain't no cat gonna listen to an ankle-biter like you anyhow.” the two siblings bickered.
“You know what girl, fine, you do you, I'm jumping.” the younger brother snatched his jacket up and walked out of the house. She smiled, sitting back down on the couch and lighting a cigarette. She twisted her new pocket watch in her hands. Pocket watches always had been her second favorite accessory to snatch.
