A man returned home earlier

A man returned home earlier than usual.

His son met him, very upset, and crying, “Daddy, there’s a monster in your bedroom.”

“There’s a what?”

“A monster. And he’s hidden in mummy’s wardrobe.”

So the man went upstairs, found his wife in bed and opened the wardrobe door.

Inside, his oldest friend tried vainly to hide himself behind a rack of dresses.

“Twenty years, you’ve been my friend,” bellowed the husband, pulling his former friend out by the hair, “And the best thing you can find to do is frighten my little boy.”
