Growing up in Waterhouse, St Andrew, Olympics and World Championships in Athletics gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser said her first answer to everything was "whatever".
The 23-year-old was animated, her eyes as wide as saucers yesterday, as she got to the climax of a childhood story.
"A girl stabbed me with a pen. All of us ganged up on (her)," she said.
"Oh Lord," she added with a sigh.
Fraser is well known to Jamaicans, and the rest of the world, as the Olympics and world champion at the 100 metres. She is also the only female sprinter to hold both titles at the same time.
However, as of Monday evening, she has also become UNICEF Jamaica's first national Goodwill Ambassador. Yesterday, she was named Grace's Goodwill Ambassador of Peace in conjunction with the Peace and Love in Society (PALS).
