DH just asked me if I could make him a suit out of trash bags.....for tomorrow night!! Tomorrow night at AWANA, all children who have finished their books bet to throw sponges at their leaders....so.....guess what I'm going to be doing tonight?? Sigh...trust me, it will be quick, and dirty, but it will get the job done



Larisa, wondering why husband waited until the last minute to think of this....wait, didn't we have a discussion about this a week or so ago??


LOL Cut a neck hole in one and call it a poncho. ;)

It's just that he has unlimited faith in your abilities. I get that around here a lot. lol

Sharon

hand him a roll of duct tape and he can do it himself.

But but but... Wasn't that KIDS??? DH's *should* know better. You are too nice - mine would have been handed the roll of bin bags and the stapler.

Handed?? He'd have been wearing them in a new and interesting manner ... possibly requiring surgical removal.

Actually, he'd have asked the question weeks ago or kept quiet about it.

What's AWANA?

You could always tell him to just wear bathing trunks, or failing that some old jeans and a T-shirt, and take a change of clothes - and a towel.

Maybe he could get a tyvek overall - the sort of thing worn in industrial Clean Rooms? These are usually wear-once-and-throw-away (not Clean any more) but would still be fine for his purposes. This is a good source of cheap overalls for decorating and car-mechanicking. They can also be got from DIY stores, I think, and are not expensive.

All sorts of other waterproof gear suggest themselves. Or does he just want to look like a punk?

It's a children's religious club, usually found at evangelical churches.

Snerk! Oops - squeegee, please...

After all that nonsense, and a deep cut on my thumb from cleaning the duct tape adhesive off the scissors, he decided not to wear them. Said it wasn't sporting since nobody else did anything like that. Oh well....I got the $10 that came out of somebody's pockets in the wash, which more than makes up for the time spent cutting and taping plastic. Besides, the kids got some good wallops on him with their throws...and darn, I forgot to bring him a towel .
