Not quite thinking ahead

I don’t think that there is much argument that smoking is bad for you, you shouldn’t overindulge and the human brain doesn’t fully mature until sometime after age 18. Now depending on your own experiences you could probably argue these a bit but every now and then you see something to prove some or all of these issues.

I wish I could say it happened to someone else, but I am willing to man up and look a bit stupid. When I was young I lived a block away from my cousins and so it was not all that unlikely I would play with my cousin and on at least one occasion his older sister was my babysitter.

Well, in the third grade while I was being babysat by my elder cousin, her younger brother and I were fooling around. Fortunately it was summer, but we somehow got her to go outside and then we proceeded to lock her out of the house. I guess neither of us could see into the future, where her folks would probably be disciplining her brother and my folks would be disciplining me.

We thought we were being pretty thorough when we locked up, but apparently not so well as she managed to get in and once again take control. Fortunately my mature brain at this point can no longer remember what happened after that.
