Sinister Easter bonnet?

210 replies

Ds1 loves foxes. So I thought it would be fun to make a bonnet with a fox chasing some chicks. the finished article looks a bit scary and having viewed some hats online I am wondering if this is in fact completely inappropriate. He is in reception so this is my first brush with bonneting. Am I worrying over nothing?

Docket, I've just been alerted to your plight by the Talk Roundup, so had to come and have a look -

I was expecting a teeny fox chasing some teeny chicks around the brim of the hat, so doubled up on the computer desk when I clicked on the picture!

It's FABULOUS.

gawd, what a bummer of a woman his teacher is...

SpawnChorus · 02/04/2010 09:15

Oh god...I've almost asphyxiated with laughter. Docket - it's brilliant.

Sorry for delay, ds2's sleep has gone to the wall.

The FrightHelmet definitely didn't win. In fact, I sensed some disapproval from DS1's (slightly po-faced it must be said) teacher!

No matter, ds1 enjoyed wearing it and the comments on here have been most amusing. We're moving in the summer so he'll be at a different school next year. The FrightHelmet lives to see another day....

I love the bonnet! Do not change it, it is a work of genius! Really.

onebatmother · 01/04/2010 17:12

I have killed the thread with my utter wankery

onebatmother · 01/04/2010 16:17

Stroke chick/evil bastard chick are VERY good - like some mythic archetypal duo they accidentally left out of my classical education.

or maybe Freudian?

Stroke chick = ego
evil bastard chick = id
Wolf = superego

That is the best bonnet in the history of bonnets!! I cried with laughter. I was trying to tell my DH but couldn't get the words out!

ChickensHaveSinisterMotives · 01/04/2010 16:11

PMSL @ the evil bastard chick, willing to sacrifice its hatch mate for freedom

geordieminx · 01/04/2010 15:53

Love it.

Just make sure you get it back, else the teacher will be claiming it as her own.

upahill · 01/04/2010 15:51

Genius hat! Love it!!

globaljen · 01/04/2010 15:45

That is the BEST Easter Bonnet I have EVER seen! PMSL!

Slartybartfast · 31/03/2010 22:38

any news docket?

brightongirldownunder · 31/03/2010 04:26

Just the mention of "bonnet" after looking at it makes me PMSL! Its truly a work of art, worthy of exhibiting in the Tate Modern.
Have you thought about setting up a business manufacturing bonnets aka fright helmets for all occasions ...easter/christmas/birthdays/weddings/funerals/ barmitzvahs? Reckon you'd be inundated with requests....

BeastofBodmin · 31/03/2010 04:19

I concur

I've just come back to this thread and yep - crying with laughter all over again

Ozziegirly · 31/03/2010 04:01

I am at my desk literally crying with laughter at the bonnet.

I had to go and read another thread just to calm down.

Now when I think about it the tears of joy come streaming back.

You have made my day.

BeastofBodmin · 31/03/2010 01:39

I love the bonnet - I love this thread

Genius

Bet secretly the teacher did want it to win, but was afraid once news got out amongst the parents, competitive one-upmanship would mean next year's Easter bonnets decorated in roadkill.

hellymelly · 30/03/2010 22:28

I have cried laughing,that is so brilliant.The teeth! the menace! That has to win.It is the best thing I have ever seen.My DH came in to see why I was laughing so much.

MiladyDeWinter · 30/03/2010 22:19
