Boy in a CupboardI remember having a friend at school who was an only child who lived a couple of doors down from me.
Walking home me and a couple of my mates started talking about sibblings which we all had.
I told Danny (The only child) that he had a special brother that his parents kept in the cupboard under the stairs.
They let him out at night to look at his fish tank if his spazzy brother 'Fanny' (a play on Danny) is good and doesn't eat shoe laces or slobber in his dad's trouser pockets etc.
He then started crying saying that he had a brother who died when he was young from some disease...
I said I was sorry, I didn't realise that Fanny died which made him cry even more and run off...I called his brother Fanny by accident. His name was Stephen I found out later...
I thought it was funny at the time but now crindge when walking past his home with pictures of his dead brother on the wall through his window...
Cheers
