Today, I stopped to replace a stuffed bear that had fallen from a small memorial for a girl killed nearby. Her mom happened to walk by and thought I was stealing it. She hit me with her purse. FML

Sometimes I feel that even if you can do something good, but there is a chance you will get in trouble, DON'T DO IT.

People often jump into conclusions too quickly.

I wonder how long trinkets and things are expected to stay there before the groundskeepers round them all up? I know you weren't trying to steal the bear but suppose the mom showed up when they were removing old stuff?

I am assuming this isn't a cemetery, rather one of those roadside memorials with like, a cross, balloons, flowers, etc ... Probably killed in some car accident or something similar.

I would beat you with a purse too, but, for your grammar

Not to be a dick, but you have improper use of commas in your sentence.

well thats a little sucky, but losing your daughter would put anyone on edge

That sucks so much OP. Did you try explains to her what you were doing or was she not having it?

Just explain to her the whole situation. But that's really sad :/

I understand that the mother is in grief over her daughter's death, but you don't need to just jump to conclusions.

That's unfortunate and well done for doing the right thing and picking it up I hope she understood when you explained

Maybe the owner didn't want the bear replaced? After all, it could have a memento, and those are irreplaceable. For all we know, the bear could have been the child's play toy before death.

I'm pretty sure OP meant replaced as in 'putting it back where it originally was after it fell' rather than an actual new bear.
