DD’s nativity play - does cow person mean person dressed as a cow or politically correct cowboy?

[Ostryga]

I will obviously clarify tomorrow but am I very stupid in not getting what this is 😂

I don't think there were cowboys at the birth of Christ, tbh

Surely person dressed as cow would just be cow

Maybe it means the person who looks after the cows

Would think cowboy, but surely cow makes more sense in nativity? Bizarre!

I agree unless it's some kind of cow version of Mr Tumnus?!
I think the latter, but thanks for the question OP it made me laugh!

I’d be thinking animal but check whatever you do to avoid any embarrassment.

When the girls were little they had a spaceman at the nativity. (A little boy who desperately wanted to be a spaceman so they eventually let him just so he could take part).

Possibly a cow girl I’d think.
My Dd did a school Xmas show where they had a section with a stable hoe down!
Maybe it’s the same one!!

I'm voting politically correct cowboy. Why s/he is at the birth of Christ is a bit of a puzzler though!

Please update once you know, OP!

Oh yes maybe! You're up to 4 possibilities:

1. PC Cowboy
2. Cow carer
3. Human-cow hybrid/ Mr Tumnus (Hoping against hope it's this
4. Cow

As a third option I'd wonder if they meant cowherd.

Yeah, I don't think there were any pigs at the birth of Jesus, but we've definitely had pigs in our Nativity plays!

Ooh, I need to know what a cow person is! Half human half cow?

Cow/human hybrid??? Please don't ask the teacher OP and just rightly or wrongly assume they must mean this option.

Trust me, primary school Christmas plays bear absolutely no resemblance to the events depicted in the bible!

Have to admit I'm now fully on board with the cow version of Mr Tumnus.

Cowherd

Worth checking if they mean cow or cowherd

Is it a centaur soet of thing that’s half cow half person or is the teacher vegan and thinks cows are people too? 🤣 Did they have cows OR cowboys 2000 years ago?

This was how it was worded which doesn’t add any clarity tbh. Surely a cowboy would be cowperson? I have no clue

My guess is that it is this:

Prickly Hay nativity musical

and so it will be cowboy/girl costume.

I'm guessing it's this nativity, so I'm going for the PC cowboy (see under "choir" on the cast list).

I think cow carer. Like a shepherd but for cows.

DS once was chosen to be a "nativity animal" for which I needed to send in green clothes. That was a fun few weeks as he hadn't a clue what he was supposed to be, even rehearsals didn't give him any ideas.

Oh goodness! What did he end up being? As primary nativities go I’m guessing it could be anything from snake to seahorse 😂
