Frosty - I knew I'd seen him before. He looks exactly like my grandfather did in 1942 when he was in the RAF!

I'm looking after GS (6 months) this pm. How angry do you think DIL would be if I just did a little one?

Older - I dare you, double dare you and triple dare you with a cherry on top!

Barbara, do I have to leave it on for when she collects him to win the dare?

Crapbag, this thread is about having a bit of fun. Babies with 'taches! How can you not see the comedy in that?

BarbaraBar · 18/03/2011 13:32

Def leave it on!!

olderyetwider · 18/03/2011 13:36

He has a nap around 3pm, DIL collecting at 4.30pm. Once he's nicely asleep I'll get the eyeliner out.Grin

older, do it and claim he did it himself when your back was turned.

Fluteyboots · 18/03/2011 13:55

Larfing a lot :o

Older, I love your reasoning that a baby tache would be acceptable if it was just a little one.

Was wondering what to do with DS this afternoon. Think we might go for a Tom Selleck then out for a walk.

yosammitysam · 18/03/2011 14:24

I'd go for a stick on one, you get more texture. My ds's have gone to school with one each today for comic relief and my 2yr old wore one walking to school- we had a handlebar and 2 poirot types. They took the moustache wearing very seriously. Soooo funny!

BringBackGoingForGold · 18/03/2011 15:57

Stick-ons have better texture but drawn-ons have old-school charm (makes me think of Roobarb and Custard). I'd go for a music-hall impresario curly one with waxed-looking pointy ends. And agree that there is no minimum age. Why wait?

Pinkjenny · 18/03/2011 16:00

My ds has beautiful, long, thick eyelashes. I am dying to put mascara on them. I mean, I won't. But I want to.

whomovedmychocolate · 18/03/2011 17:01

Surely much more fun to draw massive facial hair on the baby and then Veet your husband's eyebrows when he is sleeping, no? Grin

spooktrain · 18/03/2011 17:06

I think it has to be a Dali for sheer artistic flourish

but I also think a goatee beard would be good

spooktrain · 18/03/2011 17:06
  • goatee depending on how many chins the baby has
olderyetwider · 18/03/2011 22:38

Bottled it! Didn't really dare, though think DIL would have found it funny

When and only when the drawing of the moustache is deemed to send the MIL over the top with judgyness.
