My dad had wart-like skin nipples on his neck/shoulder area. When I was very small, I used to point them out and ask what it was. He told me that there were diamonds inside!
I really asked him frequently, if I could have them, if he would cut them out.
It took me to my teens (16?) to realize that it had been mean deception.
My mum and dad probably laughed a lot when I was greedily staring at the warts in the past.
Doh!
