I'll do anything for bar of chocolate......


My sister and I was reminiscing the other day and she told me a story...

We had been sent to the shop by our mother and I had asked my sister for some sweets but she told me no. Now I must of not been satisfied by that answer because when my sister had looked back at me I was acting shifty and guilty.
I had decided that I wanted the chocolate no matter what.
I had become a petty criminal.
My sister asked me what was I hiding behind my back and in my shock I dropped the chocolate on the floor, but since I was only five years old the shopkeeper only laughed at me and sent me on my way.

But that wasn't the end of my shoplifting day.........stay tuned.

My first cigarette.


My first ever cigarette was when I was fifteen years old. I was in school and I can admit that It was only down to peer pressure why I took a puff. It was the most disgusting thing I can say I've put in my mouth. But no I wanted to be like the cool kids so I continued puffing along filling my lungs with poison.


When I would get home I dont think my mother could smell it on me, being a smoker herself, so there was nobody to tell me that I was committing a crime on my health.


When I did finally realised that the horrible smell on my fingers was there to stay and that running for the bus was leaving me breathless, I knew It wasnt worth the time.


So I picked up the courage to say no the next time I was offered a "fag", only to be told i was a "wimp".....Well who needs enemies with friends like them.
