_{“When I was younger, I was obsessed with having glasses, braces, and I really wanted a hearing aid. So I was like, “I can’t hear.” And the teacher was like, “Why why? Has something happened?” I was like, “My mum poured tea in my ear.” And they called her in and they questioned. Obviously it wasn’t true, but they were like there must be some truth to this. There was no truth to it at all. And then I guess I was just really attention seeking as a kid. So I just used to say sh– like that so that um, I get attention.”}
