Peer Pressure
Today I went to the V&A. A beautiful building. Fabulous exhibits. But what caught my eye was a group of young adolescent boys. I stayed within earshot so I could hear their 'dares'. This boy was promised £20 if he ran across the pool. I don't know if he got his money. After this dare the boy who promised to pay was being challenged to roll across the water for £100 and the group was debating how the £100 would be divided amongst them. I waited around to see if he would accept the challenge but when I felt pretty sure he wasn't going to accept but be pretty good at wriggling his way out of it I called it a day
