Pampered children.

For her birthday little girl next door has just been to McDonalds in a stretch limo with four friends.She's ten!

Ps - I suspect that each of the above costs more than a limo ride and a burger.

Not far from me is a family who not only keep up with the Jones but frequently outdo them, although it doesn't always work out as intended. Recently they held a birthday party for their seven year old daughter. All her friends were invited and bouncy castles[ yes plural] slides etc were set up in the front garden, ensuring everybody saw them. The Father announced that for H & S reasons, he would go down the biggest slide first. This slide had a hump in the middle which he managed to hit sideways, shoot into the air, land on his stomach and was immediately sick down the rest of the slide. Some of the other children then threw up and everybody trooped back indoors to get cleaned up. The outdoor amusements were never used and he had to pay extra for the specialised cleaning. we, the neighbours, thought it the best party he'd ever had.

vulcan - that was a nice story for a nasty Monday morning. I bet that his wife was really pleased with him too. ;-)
