There’s a headline we never thought we’d write.
Eddie Burke from Killea, Tipperary is currently enjoying his summer in Portland, Oregon as he’s on a J1 for three months.
Well, he was enjoying it until he got this text from his mother who had a complaint about his donkey.
Apparently, his donkey Frank got loose from her paddock and shit all over the front of the house, leaving his dear old mother and father plenty of cleaning up to do.
We love how she’s angry at the donkey but in true Irish Mammy style, she warns him to wear sun cream and to take it easy on the drink.
Peak Irish Mammy.
Eddie didn’t acquire his beloved Frank through conventional means, however.
Frank (actually a female donkey) was bought on a night out and delivered the next morning while Eddie was still asleep.
He received a text in the morning saying: “She’s there for you now, you can fix up with me next weekend, thanks.”
Eddie thought nothing of it, assuming someone was having a joke at his expense, until he went into the kitchen and saw the donkey tied to the fence out the back of the house.
