Today is world book day our lovely granddaughter wanted to go as Dolly Parton, she loves her “ Little People Big Dreams “ books and Dolly is her heroine😬.
There are obviously 2 huge reasons why my daughter didn’t allow her to go dressed as Dolly😬.
The compromise was Frida Kahlo, but there is no such thing as a Frida costume so my daughter used her imagination.
Granddaughter was in tears because she says she will be the only one not in a costume from a costume shop!
Of course she won’t be🤞.
Should schools find another way of promoting the day without parents having to splash out on costumes?
IMHO they should home made/improvised only!
We had a family Zoom quiz last night. DS was bemoaning the whole dressing up thing and DD2 declared that she loved creating the outfits. One of her boys went as Captain Underpants this year, the other as some sort of alien dragon from his favourite book. Another grandson went as the golden snitch last year- sadly nobody knew who/what he’d come as.
