Evil genius

A memory that came back to me this morning was of being about 4 years old. My mum is having the house redecorated. We got out to the decorator's shop one evening and mum is looking through huge books of wallpaper samples. Very dull. My brother and I go outside to play. There's broken glass on the pavement. It's safety glass, so the pieces are chunky cubes. We decide to line a handful up under the wheels of a mini parked outside the shop. We're thrilled when the owner returns and gets into the car, turns on the engine and drives off. I wait for the tyres to explode but they don't. Another evil genius plan bites the dust.
