Birthday Party!

"Mum, I'm 39. Honestly it is no longer a big deal!"

"Nonsense Bradley, your uncle Bob and aunt Nan went to a lot of trouble"

"Have you forgotten last year when they blew up all the balloons? Bob had been on the brandy all afternoon and Nan had the garlic mushrooms at lunch. We didn't know which ones were toxic and which were explosive!"

"Come and see your cake Bradley."

"*sigh* Yes mum."
