Ahh it finally came back. A parent posted saying their kid insisted they needed to dress as Elvis instead of elves for the holiday pageant.
Is the the kid from that one other moms post?!
Imagine not knowing the difference between breathe and breath
It’s already been mentioned in comments in other subs that the play intentionally has an “Elfis” character. He’s wearing the correct costume.
I can’t breath either.
Iiiii’ll haaave a bluuuuuuuuuuue Christmas
on the stage.
Kinda reminds me of my old boss’s memorial. He loved the Dallas cowboys, but he also had a western thing going on.
So we were told “cowboy themed”. I was 1 of 5 guys in really nice western attire in a crowd full of jerseys. 🤠
This is from a skit called [Elfis: A Christmas Tale](https://www.amazon.com/Elfis-Christmas-Tale-Alan-Katz/dp/0843115793). This wasn’t a misreading; he was supposed to be “Elfis”. [Here’s a link to a mom explaining](https://x.com/MurtaghRobbie/status/1728184120805663085).
That’s what I was wondering. The kid &refused* to believe not was elves, and was, in fact Elvis.
And the only black kid had to be the one to come in as Elvis.
This was a little musical about Elvis going to the North Pole.
didnt have to spend 50 bucks on a stupid elf costume – win-win
Maybe the play was “Elvis and the Elves Expedition to the North Pole”
The biggest mistake here was outsourcing the costume acquisition to the parents.
To be fair, Elves could be the plural word for Elvis.
Lol reminds me of when my parents helped my sister write an essay about whales.. instead of Wales
tolkien be like
Moved to TX a while back and son was in preschool. One night wife says we need to dress him up like a cowboy, like hat and that neck thing etc…She brings him in in his cowboy get up and all the preschool teachers are looking at her like WTF did you do? Yes, it was Dallas Cowboy day. I think they still talk about that day.
Elvis is slightly more relevant to Christmas than elves. At least Elvis was called the King
Poor kid
This sounds more like a case of the parents being stupid.
Well, he is Elvish!
This is really old but it’s still funny
To be fair the letter went to all the kids and the plural of Elvis is Elves.
What if they’re the only ones that knew how to read and everyone else just dressed as elves
Oh fuck, I remember the twitter of that kid’s parent.
