DS2 needs to dress up as an 8 letter word

Yup. You read that right. For literacy day in a couple of weeks time.

My mind is filthy and this sort of shit pisses me right off so please help.

Each year group is dedicated to a word length. Year 3 - 6 letters, year 4 - 7 letters etc etc.

On the day children will try to make a sentence combing their word and the words of other children in the school. Prizes will be awarded for the 'best dressed word' and for the most creative sentence formed on the day.

Give. Me. Strength.

I only wish he was in Yr4 so could go as FUCKOFF.

I thought Easter bonnets and random camel costumes at Christmas were bad enough with DS1. Clearly primary school have upped the ante in the last ten years
🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Please help GrinGrin

You’ve got a good word in your OP - strength. Just make him a set of ‘weights’ out of an old broom handle and glue some paper plates or something to the ends. He can spend all day lifting it above his head and going “hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrnghhhhhh” Grin
