Aunt sues nephew over ‘unreasonable greeting’

25 minutes…The time taken for the Connecticut jury to decide that Jennifer Connell would receive zero damages for her broken wrist - an injury she had after an over enthusiastic greeting from her nephew - The New York Daily News reports.

Now-12-years-old, Sean Tarala had been sued by Connell for $127,000 in damages after he accidentally broke her wrist when he was 8.

Sean’s lawyer said the only thing the boy is guilty of is “trying to give his aunt a hug on his birthday.”

Connell’s lawyer William Beckert. “She is not here enjoying a moment of this.”  But Sean “should have known better.”

Sean’s family has declined to comment, but I’m guessing she won’t be invited to many birthday parties in the future.

Hey, what’s that saying - you can’t choose your family!

Ever get that feeling that someone’s trying to tell you something?!

I came across an amusing story in The Independent, that spoke of a woman who had exposed her ‘cheating husband’ using a digital billboard to tell the world (or at least a large majority of Sheffield’s commuters) that she was leaving him.

‘When you get home I won’t be there.  Enjoy your drive to work’.

Lisa wrote the blunt message to her husband named Paul, on a billboard on Sheffield Parkway. Pictures of the billboard and wording were later tweeted and shared numerous times on social media.

A spokesperson fro Anco Digital who runs the signs, said the space would normally cost £400.  They did not confirm how much ‘Lisa’s’ wording had cost.

Not the most conventional way to communicate to your husband, but a small price to pay to get the message across loud and clear.  Thus I’m sure leaving ‘Paul’ under no allusion of exactly how things stood!
