Inappropriate Christmas request.....

My 3 year old ds loves old fighter planes such as spitfires and hurricanes etc. Fair enough.

My ds2 has been learning about ww2 and the blitz, which has caught the attention of ds3, when doing homework and so on.

Whilst browsing the toy shop Smyths catalogue, he saw an army dress up outfit, which he insists is German.

So that's all he wants for Christmas, a German uniform.

I'm hoping come December he will be past this phase.

Anyone else received inappropriate requests?

I dont think that it is inappropriate. He is too young to cause any offence if he tells people he is dressed up as a German fighter pilot. You simply say he is obsessed with planes and his brothers been teaching him about the planes used in the second word war. Its cute really. My 2 year old wants a duck. Not a yellow bath duck, a 'proper duck with a green head'. Not inappropriate, but I've no idea where in gonna get one!

Just imagining a tiny nazi soldier "Heil Hitler"ing everyone on Christmas Day! Grin

If it's good enough for Prince Harry... Wink

This isn't inappropriate at all. There's nothing wrong with german fighter pilots - I assume it's not an SS uniform he wants?

Duck with a green head - they sell these in pets at home. They do a soft toy duck that makes a funny noise when you chew play with it. At 2,DC is young enough to have no idea it's a dog toy Wink

Search Mallard on eBay.

My DS had an unfortunate spell where his superhero activity (flying like superman, shooting like ironman) was impossible to interpret any other way than the Nazi and Italian Fascist salutes. It happened in France once. I have never felt such shame.

RSPB do a duck toy with a green head, it even quacks. My son has one that he got when he was around two, he loves it.
