Dear Parents,
As you are aware, the end of year Christmas concert is fast approaching us… The Nursery Children have been busy preparing for this, and one of our acts will be “Old MacDonald”. Your child is playing the role of a pig and we ask that you bring him dressed representing this character…

Haha.
I’m trying to feel sympathetic but I can’t do it.

Yeah, well I had to rustle up a dinosaur costume last week.
Hot tip – one segment of an egg carton and a piece of elastic. Also, we require photos.

Well Nat, now everyone will know I was using your computer last week!
I’m thinking egg carton nose, elastic, some sort of ear action, possibly with pink face paint. As the (mostly) unemployed mother who sends the kid to childcare three days a week I might need to pull the finger out. Competitive mothering style.
Or I could head up pub and forget to show up for his gig. You never can tell.

I don’t think you’re showing enough commitment. I think the lad deserves a full costume involving chicken wire, pig pink fabric, curly tail, face mask and full body rub down with bacon grease. And don’t forget the trotters.

I WISH our kinder did a concert. And I’m NOT joking about that.

You heading has already said it.
Good luck, is all I have to say. By the end of primary school, you’re going to have a PhD in Martha Stewart, and want a number of people on staff completely dead.
Fact.

I don’t mind that they do a concert, or that they ask for parent contributions, but it’s a childcare centre. By definition, the parents are busy during the day. Many of them work fulltime and are juggling early starts and late finishes (Dan drops the kid off in the morning and Mum picks them up, for example) as a regular thing.
So it would be nice to get a bit more than a week’s notice for making a costume.
