2 Little Fairies - Paper Play DT Card

Hello peeps,
My stomach hurts from laughing so much! For a 23 year old 6ft 3" tall rugby player & a black belt at karate my son Gareth is such a wuss at times lol. He hates getting dirty except for on a rugby pitch, is terrified of creepy crawlies & always calls for me to evict spiders for him & this morning he'd only just left home to go to his mates house & he came flying back in the door ranting about my friends being mental and shot out into the back garden! I was in the front room & went to see what on earth was going on and he was at the sink scrubbing his hands, looked white as a ghost and was ranting about my friend Kim saying there was something seriously wrong with her and she's disgusting! Kim had called out to Gareth and plonked a frog in his hands & told him to put in our pond as she'd found it by the road, he was too shocked to do anything but run back in and plop it in the pond lol. If Kim had said she had a frog he would never have put his hands out, I'm still laughing now he was so funny.

Waffle over let's get down to business, I've got to stop laughing my stomach really hurts lol.
