Local child Liam Newson has today taken a massive gamble after he was seen entering his backyard without any shoes on.
The ten year old should have known better than to chance it but after a particularly shit day at school he wanted nothing more than to drown his sorrows with a quick bounce on the trampoline.
The sense of urgency may have also been prompted in the knowledge that his older brother Sam was not more than fifteen minutes from arriving home and would most certainly be eager to ruin Liam’s fun by double bouncing him into the nether realm.
As usual, no amount of high pitched ‘stoooooooops’ would be enough to end the endless barrage of torment – in fact, it’d likely just make him bounce harder.
Scanning the yard for an appropriate navigational footpath, Liam attempts to navigate his way through the lawn full of bindi patches with the determination of a soldier sweeping a minefield.
As he tentatively touches the tips of his toes to an unassuming patch of grass, Liam completes the ultimate Australian roulette by successfully avoiding a patch of what his father likes to call ‘those spiky fucks.’
More to come.
