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

Bullshit?

FlaviaAlbia · 01/10/2019 20:31

Sprinter. Put in him shorts, t-shirt and trainers and tell him to jog on the spot to keep warm.

Aarghhelpplease · 01/10/2019 20:32

Erection. He could go as a building 😂

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

Gardener, elegance, Facebook, religion (although that could be controversial!), cleaning (send him in with a broom and some empty spray bottles)?

ThisIsNotAIBUPeople · 01/10/2019 20:41

DH says if he and his friend both go as testicle they can be a pair of bollocksGrin

Wardrobe

Cushions

Lighting

Universe

Saturday

Ovaltine

Arsehole (not saying he is... but you could dress him as Farage and he could have an interesting 'what am I?' game.

Asteroid

Pregnant

etc etc

FWIW I agree with you and think it's a bit ridiculous.

They won’t be able to make sentences if everyone goes as a noun.
Not many 8 letter verbs.

dramaqueen · 01/10/2019 20:56

Vajazzle - as a verb?!

The clue is in your post - give me STRENGTH. Dress him as if he is going to the gym.

Kungfupanda67 · 01/10/2019 21:07

@TwatCat syphilis 😂😂

listsandbudgets · 01/10/2019 21:18

Remainer? You could give him an EU flag to wave about

If your political views go the other way Brexiteer is no good as it has 9 letters

Smileatthesmallthings · 01/10/2019 21:26

Fabulous (definitely thinking glitter & sequins)
Opposite (white top/black bottoms, or scruffy top/neat bottoms, or half and half hair&face clean/dirty)
Creative - get a plain t-shirt, fabric pens and some glue & accessories and let him design something
Backward (clothes on back to front)
Devilish (Halloween costume sorted)
Cheerful (just a big smile all day)
Silently (a sign hung round his neck saying 'shhhh' and he doesn't speak)

None are nouns so hopefully he'd get into a decent sentence!

TroysMammy · 01/10/2019 21:28

You said it, strength.

Scarecrow (if you can go slightly over the limit, does it have to be 8 letters exactly?)
YouTuber (cardboard TV screen round him)

buzzwigs

A lot of curly hair with bees coming out of it.

Or a big bee with a curly wig.

OhioOhioOhio · 01/10/2019 21:43

Omg. I'm annoyed for you.

worriedaboutmygirl · 01/10/2019 21:43

brunette (assuming he has brown hair)
handsome (also assuming he is)
absentee - don't send him in
positive and negative - as a magnet or a battery

Although clearly every year 5 boy is going to go as Fortnite aren't they?
