My Dave moment

Writer: Amanda RiddellAmanda Riddell

For the old people: Dave is a TV show about a rapper with a freaky penis; like, that's his shtick. 👋 - What happened with me was that during the summer holidays in 2002, I fell off a slide, and there were a bunch of rocks below. The stones got in my pants, and munted my dick. There was a profuse amount of blood. I wasn't very good at Italian at that point, so I ended up flashing the nuns at the oratorio to alert their attention to the problem. Most traumatic day of my life, with my brother's accident jumping off the wall in second. - I don't remember much about that day, but my penis is circumcised, while my twin's isn't. I'm not sure if it affected my puberty; given my body hair, I'd say that's unlikely.

I've considered dramatising it, but it would be outrageously expensive to travel to Italy and do that story; it's integral to the idea, though.

bonus point: the reason I fell on the slide was that some of the older kids were running down it rather than sliding down, and I was dared to follow suit. My brother was fine, but I fell off.
