My BFF had bone cancer & had to have her leg & half of her pelvis removed. She used to refer to herself as my "half-a**" friend. Once we were in Target & there was this naughty little kid who was just making a total scene. Normally Karen was very patient with kids & would explain why she didn't have aleg in very age-appropriate terms. But this kid was so bratty & annoying, when he came up & DEMANDED to know "what's wrong with you?" , she calmly replied "I acted up in a store & my leg just fell off"! LOL! That kid's eyes got big as dollars & he was meek as a lamb after that! She used to tell me "Laugh or go crazy".
