The wise (con) man

He did it.

Despite saying he wouldn't.

He made demands though.

I had to buy him cough sweets from the chemist because he said he might not be able to sing (he didn't sing much anyway because he couldn't really remember the words, besides he was too busy trying to look cool).

He wore a massive bandage round his wrist and lower arm (there's not really anything wrong with his arm, he just worked out that his performance would be more noticeable/memorable if he was wearing a big bandage. He later admitted that there was in fact nothing wrong with his arm).

When I was Mary in my school nativity I picked my nose, that made it memorable for my Dad.

Kids today are more savvy.
