My Wonky Mum
She has this weird thing where the left side of her body behaves differently to the right. This is apparently quite harmless, but it's a bit weird. Mainly because she only sweats on one side of her body. When she used to play netball, into her forties, it would always be really strange that she'd come home with the right side of her clothes drenched in sweat and the left side completely dry.

When she drinks, which she doesn't very much, she also experiences occasional loss of control on only the one side of her body, making her remarkably uncoordinated.

When I was growing up, me and my Dad always had to be careful when we went out for a meal or a few drinks in case she had problems, and 'crabwalked'.

The worst example was when we went out for a family celebration in the local once. She had far too much champagne, stood up from the table, and flailed across the room sideways into the bar as her left tried to walk forward and her right went sideways. We had to explain to everyone else in the room that she had a 'nervous condition' and wasn't just totally legless.

Unfortunately no one believed it and she never went back to the same place again, embarrassed that everyone apparently thought she was a total pisshead.
