RE: Dumb things you did as a kid.
Jag…. I bet you xmas stocking wasnt very full!
The dumbest thing I ever did (well, the only one I can remember at the moment,). Me and my best mate of the time, I think his name was Gary, used to play a game called dodging the arrow, yes you’ve guessed it, we used to stand one each end of the garden and take it turns to fire an arrow from a homemade bow at each other, the object was to dodge the arrow (surprise! surprise!)we both thought it was great fun until one day I wasn’t quick enough and the arrow, with its wire bound tip , caught me just above the right eye, I went screaming to my mum with blood pouring down my face while Gary made himself very scarce.
The afteroon was spent in A&E just to find out that the only injury I had was a badly bruised head, an inch further down and I’d have been blinded, plus a small cut (but so much blood!)
While me and Gary remained good mates the incident put a bit of a strain on both families, each blaming the others son for being a bad influence on their own,I could never understand all the fuss.
Gladly the feud didnt last that long
sober at last
