What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?
This was not funny then but is now as it still makes people laugh. When I was 12, I had been out all-day sledging and playing in the snow. That evening, I was extremely sore down below (as you do when you have had wet clothes on all day), I laid in bed crying, my Mum shouts to me to get in the bathroom and put that cream on that's in the cupboard. As I shuffled across the landing in darkness, I reached the cupboard, took the pot and grabbed a handful of the cream, smearing it on to sooth. However, there was an instant burning sensation, I screamed, flung my arms in the air, knocking the mirror off the wall which came crashing down into the sink, smashing both the mirror and sink. Mum came rushing in to discover that I hadn’t smeared sudocrem on, but Vick's vaper rub! The moral of the story – always turn the light on!
