Biggest mess!

What is the biggest mess you every got into?  Maybe it was a real mess and maybe it was more virtual.  Let me tell you about a real mess I got into when I was 5. 

Just over the fence from where we lived was an empty field.  Someone was going to be building houses on the land so the jungle that had been there was cleared.  All that was left was dark brownish-red dirt what had lots of clay in it.

Since we lived in the jungle of Borneo, Malaysia, just outside of the town of Sandakan (see map below).  It rained almost every day, usually in the afternoon and usually for an hour or two.  I am sure you can figure out what dirt with clay and rain water combine to make...of course, mud!  This mud was thick, the kind that keeps your shoe if you walk in it, the kind that will never give it back either.

Well this huge empty, brownish-red, mud bath as just over the fence from our house.  And since no one else was using it, it was calling to be explored!  So my brother and I did exactly that!  I have no idea how long we spent in the mud but when we came back my mom would not let us in the house! We had to be hosed off out side in the back yard.  We had mud in our ears, our eyes, our noses, between our toes and fingers and covering our clothes.  Apparently our clothes were so badly stained that they were never the same. 

That is one of the biggest messes I have ever been in.
