Furious boy, 7, writes letter calling coronavirus ‘the f word’ after his birthday party is cancelled
A LITTLE boy has branded coronavirus the ‘f-word’ after his birthday party was cancelled due to the lockdown.
Luka Perry Clark was due to celebrate his seventh birthday party at his home in West Cork, Ireland, but his parents were forced to break the news that it had to be cancelled.
His parents, Liz Clark, 38, and Tessa Perry, 42, were expecting 15 kids over for a Harry Potter-themed party.
Outraged, Luka asked mum Liz, originally from Colorado, to help him write a letter to coronavirus, and was in stitches over what he wrote.
The furious youngster branded covid-19 ‘the f word’, which chef Tessa found so hilarious she shared it , where it since went viral racking up nearly 85,000 likes.
The letter says: “To coronavirus you destroyed my birthday you are the f word.”
Liz, a musician, said: "I came close to tears when I told Luka we would have to cancel the party.
"I just explained to him that it wouldn't be very responsible for the party to go ahead and he was so good.
"He just asked important questions like if he'd still get presents then he said he wanted to write a letter.
"He asked for permission to call it 'the f word' - I saved it for Tessa when she got home from work and she thought it was hilarious.
"I really don't know where he thought it was going, because he addressed it to coronavirus."
Despite the pair having to cancel the planned party, they still made Luka’s big day, on March 16, special.
The family, including little sister Joni, two, dressed up as Harry Potter and had a scavenger hunt.
Liz said: "We'd planned to postpone the party but we ended up going all out anyway.
"It was actually better because we could just focus on Luka, which you don't always get to do as parents.
"It was just the four of us and he definitely enjoyed himself.
"He's absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter. He knows all the words and all the trivia, it's unbelievable."
The parents added they were taken aback by how popular the post was, with people from all over the world wishing Luka a happy birthday and sending him video messages.
Liz added: “It's so weird how viral it went.
"He got so many people wishing him happy birthday and sending video messages.
"That doesn't happen often so it turns out that actually coronavirus didn't ruin his birthday, it made it more special."
