Photo of Brian Regan When you grow older you start having your birthday party games - pin the tail on the donkey - there's a good safe game for kids. What are adults thinking? Hey hey we're having a whole bunch of kids over, big party, we're gonna blind fold one. Give him something sharp. Spin him around and let him go. Go Bobby with the pin, just run amok. Poking around. "What are those noises?" Those are puncture wounds Bobby stop. You made a horrible error. Kids running out the door: "He missed the Donkey and got my neck Pin the tail on my neck!" Then there was musical chairs. There's a nice little anxiety attack for seven year olds. Only one kid can win all the other kids are walking around going "Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. Ahh!" You know elbowing their friends "Ahh!" That's fun. How was the party? "It was horrible! I couldn't get a chair and I got a pin in my neck! Please don't make me go back. Please. You said that would be a happy house." Musical chairs. Do you remember the first time you saw the chairs lined up like that for that game? I don't know about you but I counted the chairs: "Hey there's not enough chairs. There's not enough chairs for us." That's the whole point Brian there's never enough in life, you'll always be miserable. There's no cake, there's no ice-cream. Happy birthday.
