taste. 

After all, what would it harm to have just one more little sliver? 

I am not sure how many little slivers I had, I lost count, but I thought
I had better stop and go back to my office before I went too far. 

About an hour later I heard someone coming into the house, I knew it
must be my wife. I went back to my work and busied myself. 

“Honey,” a familiar voice yelled from the kitchen, “did you get into
that turkey?” 

It was then that I had one of those “uk-oh” moments. At first, I did not
comprehend what she was talking about, and then it came to me that I 
had devoured several slivers of the roast turkey. From the tone of her 
voice I knew I was in deep “uk-oh” trouble, the kind of trouble you 
cannot talk your way out. The evidence was sorely against me. 

After her formidable lecture, she left me to my solitude to, as she
said, “think about what you just did.” As I reflected upon the 
situation, I thought of a verse in the Bible. “But if ye will not do 
so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will 
find you out" (Numbers 32:23). 

Good intentions have never taken away the sting of doing something
wrong, especially when you are caught.
