Rotten trick

I've been taking a winter break in Hua Hin, southern Thailand for a few years now, and have built up a good circle of friends who are either ex-pat, or, like me, are averse to the British winter.
Yesterday, I was invited to a poolside barbecue at the villa of a local golf pro - a very pleasant occasion.
Then a young lady appeared who I had met a year ago when I was here. In fact, I got to know her quite well...
She wandered over, pretty as ever...
..but was carrying a young baby - which she presented to me with an earnest smile..
I host of cameras recorded the look on my face before everyone burst out laughing and the real mother appeared to take charge of her bundle of joy..
- Bastards!!
