wassupposed to wear it at Mum's wedding.  \nNo way!  \n'But I want you to look special,'saidMum.'Go on,duck.Try it on.Just toplease me.'  \nHe gave in-but first he closed theliving-room curtains.Then he slipped intothe satin suit.  \n'Oh,Eric!'said Mum,as tears filled hereyes.\"You look lovely!'And she hugged him  \nto her chest until he felt faint from lack ofoxygen.  \nT’m ever so excited,'Mum said,releasinghim at last.\"The bridesmaids'dresses camethis morning,too.Oh,the girls are goingto look gorgeous!'  \nEric's face turned white as paper.‘Bridesmaids?'he said.I didn't know therewere going to be girls at the wedding:?  \nMum ruffled his hair.I told you,'shesaid.T'm having Kylie and Jade Partridge.?  \nEric's brain couldn't cope.His mumwas marrying his teacher.That was enoughfor anybody.Now two of the worst girls inhis class were going to the wedding.It wastoo much!  \n'They'll be coming later to try on theirdresses,'said Mum.'No sneaking off to yourroom,Eric.I wantyou to stayandbe sociable.  \nIt was a nightmare!All afternoon thegirls ran up and down the stairs,trying onhorrible pink satin dresses.They prancedand twirled in front of mirrors.Theygiggled non-stop and made stupid remarks.  \n'Are you going to be a bridesmaid,Eric?\"  \n'Will you have flowers in your hair?\"  \nAnd lipstick?'  \nEric stayed sitting in a corner,hidingbehind his comic.It was a bad day!Hecouldn't wait for it to end.  \nImagine The Bodge marrying yourmum,Eric!'  \n'Will you call him \"Daddy\"or \"Sir\"?'  \nEric said nothing.He was too depressed.  \nHe was grateful to hear a loud rap at thefront door.T'll get it!'he said,leaping upand escaping into the hall.  \nWhen he opened the door,a deliveryman was standing on the step.  \n'Parcel for Braithwaite,'he said.  \nThe package was from South America.Eric could tell by the stamps.Auntie Rosemust have sent it.This was not good news.Somehow,her presents always got him intotrouble.  \nBut this time,he was in luck.Theparcel was
