The Trick

At the beginning of the school year, I was coerced into trying a little trick. This trick was supposed to be good...real good. I should have know by the word "trick" and by muffled laughter of the two guys who talked me into the trick that it might not be so "real good"! Wanna try the trick?

Put a good amount of salt on the back of your hand.
Place an ice cube on top of the salt.
Wait.
Pride kicks in and you bear a bit of local discomfort.
Cry.
Decide your friends aren't your friends and forget about pride. Try to save the hand.
Bandage hand.
Plan sweet retaliation. (with loving kindness, of course!)

Fast forward six months-which was last weekend. A big batch of kids were over playing games, sharing music and hanging out. I looked over and saw it! On the back of one of the guy's hands was the remnants of the trick. HA! We now have matching scars!
