A five-year-old boy has been billed for failing to attend a friend's birthday party - resulting in legal action.
Alex Nash, from Cornwall, was invited to the party just before Christmas.
An invoice for £15.95 was sent by his schoolfriend's mother Julie Lawrence, who said Alex's non-attendance left her out of pocket and his parents had her details to tell her he was not going.
Uh what? If he'd attended, he'd have cost you the same £15.95. Be grateful you had one less 5 year old to watch over.
And £16 each for a 5 year old party? Fill a room full of balloons. They'll be just as happy.
