We were invited to a Birthday BBQ this weekend, and as it started early afternoon, children were invited along too. The Birthday Boy was Dave, the local Squash Club manager - and Beer Monster supreme.. A bouncy castle had been set up, and Kristen was on it within minutes of us getting there.  Thirty minutes or so later - a few more children turned up, mainly little boys, who also couldn't wait to get onto the bouncy castle... Within a few minutes, Kristen was out and running up to us, explaing that none of the boys would talk to her... She then started picking some wild flowers, and told Karen that they were for the boys, and that if she gave them all flowers, they might talk to her... Well, as you'd expect then boys had no interest in Kristen or her flowers... Heartbreaking - but I guess one of lifes little lessons....

 

Towards the end of the afternoon, Lauren was starting to get hungry - so we told Kristen that she had 5 more minutes to go and bounce, and then we had to go. She was back 2 minutes later sobbing, as one of the boys had bushed her over, and told her not to move - to which she replied - "but my Dad said I have 5 more minutes" ..... She cried most of the way home, and even now, still tells us about that naughty boy !!...
