答案Well it’s hard to remember exactly, but I do recall one time when I suppose I was really quite naughty and disobedient. I was probably about nine or ten, I think, and because we lived a short distance from school, about twenty minutes walk, my friend and ! used to walk to school together every morning. On this morning at school we were scheduled to have a talk by the local police officer about road safety, including crossing roads, riding bikes and wearing helmets while on our bikes. It was all very serious and the policeman arrived in his blue uniform and to be honest I think we were all a bit in awe of him really. This was the last class of the day and I think he told us some horror stories about traffic accidents to try and scare us into being very careful on the roads. Well, after that, the bell rang and school was finished for the day, and another friend of mine had brought her bike to school and asked me if I wanted to double home with her. Now, our school was on top of a very steep long road, and for some reason, despite having had the safety lecture just beforehand, we decided it would be a lot of fun if she rode the bike and I doubled on the back, sitting just above the back tire with my legs tucked in on top of the chain. Neither of us had bike helmets. Why we thought this was a good thing to do I have no idea! So off we went zooming down the steep hill of a one-way street where it was great, lots of fun, until towards the end she hit a stone and of course I fell off the bike as it wobbled. The whole side of one leg was grazed and bleeding and I was bruised as well—not to mention very embarrassed, as there were lots of my classmates who had seen my tumble. But that was nothing compared to facing up to school the next day, when the headmistress put an announcement over the PA system that two very stupid girls had been very naughty, especially after the kind policeman had taken the time to try to tell us about road safety. I was absolutely mortified and embarrassed, as everybody knew who it was of course, and I think my friend was banned from tiding to school for the rest of the year. As for the impact the accident had on me, I guess after a while, once the embarrassment had worn off, I was actually quite proud of our rebellion but perhaps a little more cautious on the back of bikes! No, not as a child, anyway! No, not any more than other children, I suppose.
