Fortunately, there were some aunts and uncles there, so at least there were some adult guests. Nevertheless, I felt terrible for this boy, and I didn't mind hanging around a bit longer. We actually ended up having a pretty good time.

That’s sooooo sad! Did the parents of the other kids not confirm they were coming? As a dad I would feel so empty, what can you do to make that better? There is nothing worse than seeing your child upset and not be able to do anything to influence the people responsible – I would have been knocking doors (as a parent not a clown)!

At least there was a clown there to turn his frown upside-down!
