My brother
When we were about twelve or so, my brother decided he was going to buy this girl he really liked a Valentine’s card.
So off he went down to Balfour News, or whichever generic brand of newsagent it was that year, to buy the perfect card to win her affection.

He comes back a bit later with a card with a picture of a hedgehog or a hamster or something on it, under the legend “Number 1 Stud”.

I spot his small yet important error but decline to tell him.

Come Valentine’s day he gives her the stud card, she shows everyone and we all laugh so much he cried on the bus home.

I think we had sausages and chips for tea later that night too, it really was a great day.

I love this
I also used to take malevolent glee in the downfall of my siblings.

I like it
The comment about sausages & chips for tea caught me off guard, and made me giggle like a loon.
