I stole a swimming award even though I didn't earn it.

When I was 6 my mom signed me up for swimming lessons. The teacher decided she would throw a competition and said the winners would receive a big trophy. I was the worst swimmer in the class, so she made up an award just for me. When I went up to claim the award, I realized she had already given the other trophies out (it was the last award), so I took one from the table. She didn't even notice, and she gave me the blank trophy. I still have it in my room somewhere.<br><br>Edit: I should add this was over a decade ago, and I was 6, as if that's an excuse.<br><br>Edit2: Most of the people in the class were 6, but some were a little older/skilled. Full disclosure the award I took was the only trophy that was left on the table, it was the biggest one. I didn't realize at the time, but I suspect the teacher intended on giving me the blank one but giving the bigger trophy to the 'overall winner' of the competition who was one of the older kids, but she had already given him his trophy.
