My mum has just called to say my dad has gotten himself into trouble.
A small child has just knocked on their door and said "penny for the lantern" and my dad gave him 1p, took the lantern and shut the door. ?
Poor child ran off crying and the parent came to get the lantern. My dad had to nicely explain he was just jesting.
It's nearly as bad as when he told my two small cousins that santa had alzheimers and the reindeer had distemper and wouldn't be able to do christmas that year. ?
