When book week costumes go wrong...

[Superwhaaat]

For book week this year my DS asked to be 'Superworm'. He asked ages ago, and I agreed. As he had given me so much notice I had time to plan... figured a repurposed cat tunnel with a hat on could work?

It wasn't until I put the hat on the tunnel that I realised what I had created...

We had ours at the beginning of February.

Live the costume op. I bet your DC was thrilled. He looks like wicked willie.

What a shame it wasn't pink!!!!!

I hope SuperWorm won the prize OP!

wheeze

Can't breathe!

@AdaColeman - he did

I should've known better than to google 'wicked willie' @mogtheexcellent

I'm trying to get my toddler to nap and I'm crying with laughter! Thank you. Must go sort older kids costumes....

You're going to make the teachers' day 😂😂

Great stuff Superwhaaat! I bet he was thrilled!

Ours is next week, it's DDs first one. Thankfully she has asked to go as Mary Poppins. My sewing/costume skills are non-existant!

That's great, Op.

At least the eyes are at the head end!!

Superworm is brilliant!!

Mine has floppy ginger hair, which means that World Book Day is easy - we've had five years' use (and counting) out of a cape and a Gryffindor tie as Ron Weasley

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it has made people smile.

Yes, the ballsy nature of the eye balls was not lost on me @diddl. I was started referring to the top bit as a 'helmet', before I even realised the relevance.

I love it!
I'm struggling to explain my sniggering to my Superworm loving young DCs though

Fab work OP!

The eyes make such a difference.

Oh my that's brilliant 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Superwhaaat You are my hero!
Best costume ever.
You should send a picture to This Morning, I'm sure Holly and Phil would love to discuss your amazing use of that helmet and balls!!

Hip hip Horray for superworm!! 😂😂😂

Definitely best costume ever!

Well done OP 👏

@Serin I can send my dick pic to Holly and Phil?!

Mine are past this now but my son never showed any inclination to dress up as anything. I'm not creative and I'm disorganised... so I sent him to school in dress up fatigues and said 'If any one asks you're Andy McNab'

Omg that is amazing OP

The most my boys ever got was a Harry Potter gown & glasses. DD had a Red Riding Hood cloak. All shop bought I'm afraid - we can't all be creative supermums

The B.E (Before Eyes) design was hilarious The A.E design looks great!

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
Teachers will have been creased trying not to laugh.
