Wings

[azurelunatic]

One of the questions that someone who wears wings gets asked, enough to sometimes drive people bats, is this:

"Are those real?"

There are any number of answers to that, of course, ranging from the truthful to the snarky and beyond.

A creative response that occurred to me a while ago:

"They're prosthetic. I've got to wear them until my real ones grow back in."

Thanks! *grin*

They're obviously THERE, but the people asking tend to want to know if they're natural or not. And the natural ones are usually invisible except to those who tend to see such things, and it's often obvious that the visible ones are artificial, and one doesn't want to lie to a child, but one doesn't want to break the spell either.

So.

Heh.
