Mum culls friend list.
When I was about 11 yrs old my mom organised a trip to the ice rink for my brother & sister and a friend of ours. It was a good 45 min drive from the house and when we arrived we had to wait in a queue to get in. Then we waited to get skates and finally some time after setting off from the house we were ready to get onto the ice. Except for my cockface friend who was whinging and refused to put on his skates. He demanded to be taken home for no other reason that he had now decided he didn't feel like ice skating. His ranting became a bit much for my mom who had been up until that point explaining nicely to him that she couldn't leave the ice rink because all the kids were there. In any case the session only lasted another hour so he wouldn't have long to wait. He was by this stage literally demanding that we all go home because he didn't feel like ice skating.

Finally my mom had enough of cajoling him into staying. She went all medieval on his ass and gave him the hairdryer treatment that only my mom knows how to do. She gave him some money for the pay phone and told him to piss off and call his mum to fetch him.I was blissfully unaware of the whole situation and by the time I asked after him he was already waiting at the other side of the carpark for his mum to arrive.
On the way home mom gave me a lecture on how not to be wet blanket and a drip otherwise I'd end up as whinging sap like cockface. OUr friendship went downhill after that and even though he lived 100 metres from my house I never saw him. He used to drive past my house and his mum used to blank me. The funniest thing was that the poodle would get the front seat and he always had to sit in the back. After that we just referred to him as dogboy.
