Last week, when Chris from Dundee was wondering how to divert attention from his post-circumcision limp, we invited you to recount how you’d fibbed away your ailments. Says Vikki:
You asked listeners how they have explained their ailment. When I was 16 I had to use a wheelchair for long distances due to neurological condition M.E. Most accepted this but some did not, so I would go on to explain I drink too much and need a wheelchair to get home after a night out. I stuck a sign on the back of my wheelchair saying “I’m not disabled, I just drink too much” – sadly I forgot to remove this sign when attending the ChildLine awards!
Anything to brighten the mood at the ChildLine awards, right? I’ve never been, but I’m imagining the evening is light on jokes.
On a not-jokey note, readers, Vikki runs a charity called Post Pals, which seeks people to write emails and cards to ill kids. So head over to her website, then uncap that fountain pen and commence correspondence. Although please remember to keep it cleaner than the correspondence you send to us. Ahem.
