The Party Animal

It was my lads birthday yesterday. He is now 8, going on 13 years old.

I took him and his sister to the flicks to watch the Incredibles, late morning which gave the wife time to get the food for the party ready. He'd invited a couple of his schoolmates around including one, out of his harem. I think the only reason he invited his girlfriend, was so he could show off. When she showed up, he was all over her like a rash. Doing all the gentlemanley things like taking her coat off her, holding the chair out for her, letting her have the biggest piece of cake. You know the sort of thing. We saw our son in a new light. We thought he was the real party animal.

She didn't. The only animal she had eyes on was....

..the new hamster, Bramble.

The lad weren't half put out!
