Lucy: How are you today?
Having spent the weekend with her in London, double dating with Lucy’sBoyfriend and MindReader, I am of course exhausted.
Billygean: Tired. I am not in college AGAIN today because glands are big and I’m too tired to stand up.
Lucy: Oh dear. I’m sorry.
Billygean. It’s okay. I should have said something to you on Saturday. Anyway, after we left you on Sunday morning we walked round like the whole of Regent’s Park with MindReader’s brother.
Lucy: You should tell people when you need to stop. When I had glandular fever I just had to take naps there and then.
Billygean: It’s quite hard though. Most people don’t even know what it is. I don’t really want to announce to MindReader’s brother that I need to sleep in Regent’s Park.
Lucy: True. At least when I had it I was yellow. So I was obviously not well.
Billygean: I’d like to be yellow.
Lucy: It was good.
Billygean: Do you think if I drink enough Lemsip I will go yellow?
Lucy: You should eat a lot of tomato soup, then you go orange.
Billygean: Oh really?
Lucy: Yeah, it takes ages though.
Billygean: I don’t like it either.
Lucy: Double gloom.
Carrots will possibly turn you orange as well. And theres also that orange juice, oh god what’s it called…Sunny Delight. Reports of people drinking too much of that also end with skin changing colour.
I think it’s more likely to happen with children though, and you do have to drink a lot.
