#100blogfest

This is a guest post by Martin King of the #100blogfest where 100 blogs are shown in the space of a month!

Come on, admit it, we've all done crazy things when we were kids. Perhaps you rolled up a piece of paper and set it alight, pretending that it was a cigarette. Let me tell you, that smoke burns the back of your throat something chronic, so if you've never done it – don't!

I remember once me and my mates found a tin of this product called 'Firey Jack'. Let me tell you it is pretty meant stuff, especially when you are just a kid. Apparently you apply it to your muscles and it warms them up. But what they don't tell you on the tin is that it burns like hell. And you can imagine the effect on a young kid.

We had a small gang and the deal was, if anyone gave away the location of our secret den, then they would have to suffer the agony of the Firey Jack. Needless to say, everyone got found guilty at some point just so we could test it out.

And then there was this other crazy time when we found some dog poo lying on the pavement. A pretty random statement you think seeing as it is an everyday occurrence. But back then when you have a four year old boy playing out in the street, who can be easily persuaded to do anything... well it was easy pickings.

I'm not going to go into graphic detail of what happened that day. Let's just say it was the incident of some persuasive kids, a four year old boy and a pile of dog poo – and leave it at that. You can draw your own conclusions.

So what about you then...yes you? There must be some stupid childish prank or crazy thing you got up to. So come then, spill the beans.

These blogs are all about fun and sharing. Thank you for reading a '#100blogfest' blog. Please follow this link to find the next blog in the series: http://martinkingauthor.com/blog/7094550076

So what did you do as a child? I'm still 18 and most people argue that I am still a child, I think that might be because of how much I have achieved lately; I have written 3 novels and editing one for publication in September.
