It’ll be lonely next Christmas for cheating Athy housewife Bridget McAuley after her own child stood against her in divorce proceedings from husband Seamus. Bridget’s four-year-old son Otis Jay testified that he had caught his mother in flagrante with a strange bearded man on Christmas Eve of last year.

"STOP KILLING MY MOMMY!"

Courageous tot Otis immediately informed his father of his mother’s brazen adultery, saying “She didn’t see me creep, down the stairs to have a peep; she thought that I was tucked in bed fast asleep.” The young nark also reported that the filthy Jezebel had tempted the stranger into her home for illicit lovemaking and beard tickling with a glass of whisky and some Christmas cake, although the presence of a carrot with the cake remains a mystery. A heartbroken Seamus immediately began divorce proceedings.

Following the court’s decision to award all costs and custody to Seamus, the adorable young snitch commented: “I was horrified by what I saw. The man was old enough to be her grandfather and repeatedly called her a ‘ho’ as they kissed by the Christmas tree. We’re well shot of that slovenly wench.”

The case at the children’s court follows a decision last week to offer €25,000 in damages to Bluebell Morocco Tiernan, after her Yuletide requests for dental care were ignored.
