I actually have a T shirt with “Don’t Ask” on the front and “or I’ll bash ya” on the back. In Rundle Mall one day I was sitting having a break and noticed a man in a wheelchair looking at me and circling. Eventually he came up and asked “where did you get that tshirt?”. I said “I don’t have to tell you what it means do I?” he said “no I get it and I want one”. It was a meeting of like minds and a wonderful moment.

and another time I was waiting to cross at the lights and noticed a man who was sitting having coffee at a footpath cafe looking at me and smiling and pointing me out to his partner. I thought I must know him or vice versa so I went over. He said he liked my tshirt. I asked “what do you think it means?” he said “i spose it’s that people ask you about your disability in public with no decent reason” YEP. What an insightful abloid and an interaction that delighted us both!

Sometimes I make up a fantastic and exciting story about “what’s wrong with you”. I was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy which is not at all “sexy”. so I say I fell off while mountain climbing, skiing accident, shot in the war or somesuch. It’s fun for me cos their faces are so funny and their ignorant self serving curiosity so pathetic. The next time I do this I am going to then say ” that was all a big lie cos it’s none of your bloody business so the jokes on you”.

Jodie asked “what is wrong with these people?” The thing wrong with them is that they believe that there is nothing wrong with them!!!
